Winsock RSHD Remote Shell Daemon 1.66 Copyright 1998 Denicomp Systems All rights reserved Winsock RSHD is the Windows Sockets version of the Unix Remote Shell Daemon. It accepts requests from remote hosts (Unix or other PC's) via the standard "rsh" command and executes them on the PC running Winsock RSHD. It also allows file copying to and from the PC via the standard "rcp" command. A special "SendKeys" extension allows some remote control of Windows programs through the standard "rsh" command, even from Unix. Security can also be enforced by specifying which hosts and/or users can access the PC through Winsock RSHD. Files can be copied to and from the PC via "rcp" from Unix hosts or other PC's on the network. Remote copy support includes support for wildcard copies and recursive copies of entire directory trees. If you are using Novell LAN Workplace for DOS, review the file NOVELL.LWP included for details about running in this environment. If your TCP/IP stack does not include the "rsh" and/or "rcp" utilities, you can use Winsock RCP/RSH, available also from Denicomp Systems. These are Windows Sockets versions of these two utilities. To install with Winsock RSHD, use PKUNZIP to uncompress the distribution file. Then use File/Run from the Windows Program Manager menu. Enter the drive and directory name that contains the uncompressed files, followed by "SETUP". For example, if you uncompressed Winsock RSHD into the directory C:\RSHD, type C:\RSHD\SETUP. Select a target drive and directory to install to and click on OK. It should NOT be the same directory in which you uncompressed the distribution file. The Winsock RSHD group will be created. Icons will be in this group for Winsock RSHD, the Winsock RSHD Configuration program, and with options to view/print the order form and the manual for using Winsock RSHD. TRY BEFORE YOU BUY ------------------ Winsock RSHD is not freeware. You can try it for thirty (30) days. If you find it useful, you can register it using the order form included. If you do not wish to register it, delete it from your hard disk or pass it along to a friend who may find it useful. By registering, you will receive the latest version of the product, printed documentation, and support via US Mail or Compuserve. The unregistered version of the product is fully functional except for the following: * When you execute a command via "rsh" from a Unix system, Winsock RSHD will return a message about Winsock RSHD not being registered, which will display on the Unix terminal from which the command was initiated. * At random times, Winsock RSHD will require you to click on an "OK" button when a command request or remote copy request is received. Winsock RSHD will pause and wait for you to click on "OK". This will also cause the "rsh" or "rcp" command on the requesting host to pause. Once "OK" is clicked, Winsock RSHD will complete the request. No other requests will be serviced until then. This will NOT occur more than once per hour.
