How to customize your ssh and telnet buttons to open your ssh client in the node details of NPM

kindbro over 12 years ago

For those who want to modify their buttons in NPM to open putty, SecureCRT, or your fav ssh client follow the steps below. The changes made will work with both firefox and ie9. Simply copy the info between the +'s into notepad, modify the destination of your client and save, then change the ext to a .reg and run. After researching how to get this working I figured I would save the others some time. If you find this helped you please mark as answered.

Note that, at least in Windows 7, you'll need to add the following as the first line:
REGEDIT4
followed by a blank line and with a blank line at the end.

It appears these are for SecureCRT only, is there different code for putty?

Works for Windows 8 also with REGEDIT4 at the top, also appears to work with IE10 and Chrome. I did have an initial problem on Windows 8 and had to create the SSH key in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT first, then it imported fine.

Ping and traceroute will not work -- these are ICMP/UDP based tools and are not proxied by the putty client.
ping is proxied by the ICMP polling graph, and I think the netpath path of NPM12 solves the traceroute issue
