    <p><strong>What i want:</strong> I want to read the Output of the PuttY Window with C#</p> <p><strong>What I've got:</strong> Our company has several hundreds of servers with at least 2-3 technical users (which are running applications). We got a database of all the users and passwords. So it's basically search, copy and paste to login.</p> <p><strong>What i want to do:</strong> Write a piece of software that does this automatically.</p> <p><strong>How far i am:</strong> Wrote a tool, that reads the logfile of a single PuTTY instance and looks for the password prompt. Determinates target user and server (based on current server and su - [username]). Retrieves the password and sends it via PostMessage to a selected PuTTY.</p> <p><strong>The Problem or what i want to change:</strong></p> <p>I want to be able to read the PuTTY output directly from the PuTTY window, because the logfile is kind of unreliable (TAB, ESCAPE, etc which scrambles the output). I have used UISpy and other tools to get a control, but no luck.</p> <p>I don't want to use a keylogger mechanism or something like that.</p> <p>Maybe a hook or something, but have never done that before.</p> <p><strong>Additonal Info:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Connection is made over a JumpServer, only ssh connections from there to the target servers are allowed.</li> <li>Direct login with the tech. user is disabled.</li> <li>The PuTTY window is already opened and used to work on the server.</li> <li>Writing a whole new Connection Manager is no option. Coworkers are familar with PuTTY and this solution should be some sort of standalone background worker.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Additonal Info 2:</strong> The goal is to write a strict 3rd party software. Not to use other SSH libs, modify PuTTY source or other approaches. The question is: how to read text from the PuTTY window, beside the logfiles.</p>

    3. CO@Albin Sunnanbo: Working with arguments won't work here. The initial connection of putty it to a "jump server" from which connections to the target servers is allowed. Also, direct login with the tech. users is disabled. @ Alan: writing my own app with lets say sharpssh would be possible. but all workers here use putty and are familar with it. so my appraoch was minimal invasive

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
