Example Scripts for SecureCRT® for Windows


The following scripts, written in VBScript, JScript and PerlScript, are examples of how to perform specific tasks using the script execution capabilities of SecureCRT for Windows. They can also be used as a guide to writing your own scripts.

The scripts are collected in one self-extracting EXE file, which you can download by clicking on the link below. The list below describes the different scripts in the file.

For more information on scripts and scripting methods, see the Scripting FAQ and the VanDyke Software online Scripting Essentials guide.
   
 
   
 
Connecting From Within a Script
Connect to a server using a pre-defined session (JScript).
Connect with SecureCRT using the SSH2 protocol (VBScript).
Connect using the telnet protocol and automate login (VBScript).
 
Sending Commands and Data To a Server
Opens a file and sends its contents line by line (VBScript and JScript respectively).

Retrieving Output From a Server
GetData.vbs Demonstrates use of the Get() function to read data from the screen (VBScript).
