ssh -N mode e.g. connect but only forward ports ?? 2 Years, 1 Month ago  
Just tried AbsoluteTelnet and I think it's missing a very important feature ... a ssh -N mode. There are situations where your login server isn't going to give you a login prompt after entering the password as all your doing through SSH is tunneling ports.

AbsoluteTelnet isn't the only SSH client I've discovered tonight that I believe is missing a ssh -N mode .. or did I miss something ?

You're right. AbsoluteTelnet's roots as a terminal emulator assume that you're using it for terminal emulation purposes. I can see there may be a need for a non-terminal port-forwarding-only kind of functionality.

Would you be willing to give a beta a try?

Sean,

I've got something here for you to try....

www.celestialsoftware.net/telnet/AbsoluteTelnet8.22.exe

It doesn't add an 'option' per-se to connect without a shell. It attempts to load a shell if it can, but gracefully handles conditions where it can't.

If you're using it primarily for port forwarding, you might want to check out the port forwarding monitor on Option->SSH2 Info. You can see what forwardings are configured, their status, and whether there are errors, etc...

I just tried it. I connects but appears to immediately get dropped as on local Windows instance shows my connection to the remote server in a TIME_WAIT state.

The AT window says it connected but it doesn't receive an error saying it got dropped.

Oh and I can't get to "SSH Info" as its greyed out ... another indicator the connection got dropped.
