Hi all, a quick question that I've not been able to find any solutions for. I'm trying to create a macro to allow Extra to connect to about 200 different sites and make changes remotely to our systems, but our sites use SSH. This means that when I try to connect, I get a window asking for a userid and password. I've been trying to find a way to enter them automatically, either using a connection string, or entering them into the window, but I haven't had any luck so far. Does anyone have any ideas for how I can get around having to manually type them in every time?
 
I've figured out a way to do this through using the WScript.Shell object to open a Putty session, but I really would prefer to use Extra. Anyone have any ideas?
