Starting a Session Automatically


SecureCRT can be configured to automatically connect [To open a Telnet or other type of communication connection between a client and a server.] to one or more specific sessions on startup. If you intend to use one particular session [A session is a set of options that are assigned to a connection to a remote machine. These settings and options are saved under a session name and allow the user to have different preferences for different hosts.] each time you run SecureCRT, you may want to enable the Use auto session option.

To enable Use auto session:

1.   Select the General/Default Session category in the Global Options dialog.

2.   In the Auto session setup group, select the Use auto session option and specify a session name or names.

Creating an Alias to a SecureCRT Session

With SecureCRT, you can easily create an alias on the desktop that will start SecureCRT and automatically begin connecting with a certain session.

To create an alias to a SecureCRT session:

1.   In the Session Manger, right-click on the specific session that you want SecureCRT to begin connecting with once the alias is launched from the desktop.

2.   Select the Make Alias menu item from the pop-up menu.
