CLI companion
Use SSH connections from scripts or automations — no login dialog needed.
How does it work?
NeoSSHWinManager-cli.exe is a separate console app that communicates with the running main app. Enable CLI access for a connection and get an access key — use it from any script to connect instantly.
Requirements
- The main app is running and you are signed in.
- CLI access is enabled for the connection.
- You have the access key (visible in the connection editor).
Examples
Interactive SSH session
NeoSSHWinManager-cli.exe --connect-cli "<access_key>"Run a single command
NeoSSHWinManager-cli.exe --connect-cli "<access_key>" --exec "uname -a"
NeoSSHWinManager-cli.exe --connect-cli "<access_key>" --exec "hostname"
NeoSSHWinManager-cli.exe --connect-cli "<access_key>" --exec "cd /var/www && ls -la"Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--connect-cli <key> | Access key for the connection. |
-connectssh <key> | Alias (alternative spelling). |
--exec "<cmd>" | Optional: run a command instead of an interactive shell. |
Exit codes
0— Success.1— Error (app not running, not signed in, invalid key).2— Missing arguments.
Security note
The access key is only transferred locally — never over the network. Don't put keys in plain text in scripts or repositories; read them from a local
.env file or the Credential Manager instead.
