if you mean that you have a nested login, then Tcl's expect could help to write a login script<br />

Thanks for that will have a look.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts on the plink front though?<br />
<br />
Think its possible with just plink on its own?

Hi<br />
<br />
I am trying to SSH to a sonicwall to do backups of the device.<br />
<br />
I can manually ssh and then run the command no problem but the issue is I cannot use plink to automate it.<br />
<br />
When you ssh to the Sonicwall the first prompt is Login as: - here you can pretty much type anything you want and then press enter you get User: - here you enter the admin username and then you enter the password and your in.<br />
<br />
if i do plink -ssh 1.2.3.4 -l admin -pw xyz &nbsp;it uses admin for the first login but just sits then at the second login.<br />
<br />
if I do admin@1.2.3.4 -l admin -pw xyz it does the same thing.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to get around this issue.<br />
<br />
thanks

Plink ssh script with multiple usernames

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

SSH / Telnet Software

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
