| |
| <p>In the Remote Systems view, you can launch a shell to perform commands |
| in a specific directory or folder of a remote file system.</p> |
| <div class="p"> |
| To launch a new shell from the Remote Systems view: |
| <ol> |
| <li>Expand a connection.</li> |
| <li>Right-click on a file subsystem that supports shells and select <b>Launch Shell</b>.</li> |
| <li>Enter shell commands, such as "ls" or "pwd", in the <b>Command</b> field (just beneath the shell itself).</li> |
| </ol> |
| </div> |
| <div class="p"> |
| You can also run commands from locations further down in the remote file system |
| tree, so that you do not need to navigate there from your home directory each time. |
| This option takes the default shell, sets the current directory to the folder that was selected, |
| and invokes a command in that directory. |
| </div> |
| <div class="note"> |
| <span class="notetitle">Note: </span> |
| Each new shell shows up in a separate tab. If more than one |
| shell is running on the same connection, each subsequent shell has a number |
| appended to the connection name. |
