Feature Request: Ability to run a local command in a SecureCRT Window

[tewner]

I would like to be able to run a local interactive program as a session in SecureCRT -

A basic use case would be the ability to run "cmd.exe" as a SecureCRT Session. Personally, I would like to be able to run my local Cygwin sessions alongside my SSH sessions.

Hi tewner,

I have created a feature request in our SecureCRT enhancement database to add the ability to run CMD within a SecureCRT tab. Should we add this feature in the future, we will post to this forum thread.

If you would like to be notified directly, please complete and submit the form at the following location:

With regards to your cygwin installation, if it includes an SSH server, you should be able to connect to that using SecureCRT.

Does your cygwin installation have an SSH server?

Have you tried to connect to it?

SSH into my local Cygwin instance? I'd much rather just be able to open a session which calls "bash.exe".

Thanks for the update tewner.

I have modifed the feature request I created to add the ability to chose the local shell to run in SecureCRT. We will post to this thread if we add this capability.
