Open session in CRT by typing in run

[conzole]

Hi,

I changed the registry so that hyperlinks work with "ssh2://hostname". It works perfectly with links in Onenote and when I type in internet explorer.

How can I make it also work by typing it into "run" or in the "search" in the windows start menu.

I want to be able to type manually the url there and a session will open in secureCRT in a new tap. It works when I do it by using telnet or "telnet://hostname", but not SSH2.

Can you help?

Hi conzole,

Thanks for the question. What operating system are you using?

Have you enabled the Default URL handler options in the Terminal / Web Browser category of the Global Options dialolg?

Maybe the changes you have made are causing the problem.

What changes have you made to get this to work in other applications?

Hi!

Thanks for the response. Yes I have selected secureCRT as default URL handler. But don't know if it works. I press it, it becomes grey, I press OK. And when I go back in, it is no longer grey and I can press it again?... But don't know if that is the problem.

I have windows 7 Professional 32bit operating system.

The change I made was in the registry, so that it would understand ssh2 hyperlinks and would open it in secureCRT by default. Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

It also started to work in Internet Explorer, but it does not work with Chrome. Might be because of the browser security settings.

But my problem is mainly I want to press "windows" button. To open "Start". And like normally you can type in the search field a telnet command. For example. "telnet://ipaddress" This would open a telnet session in secureCRT. Just like the hyperlinks I make will open. This also works in Chrome browser.

But this does not work same way when I do "ssh2://ipaddress" in Chrome or in the search field in "Start", but it works in explorer and in hyperlinks. And I got no clue why that does not work same way.

Any idea?


Best regards,

Hi conzole,

Thanks for the update. I have run some tests, and am not able to get SecureCRT to launch from the Search bar on the Windows 7 start menu when using an SSH2 URL. I have created a feature request to add the ability to use the Search bar to launch SecureCRT. Should this be possible, and added to a future SecureCRT release, we will post to this forum thread.
