Hi,
I am trying to set windows to load an SSH client to deal with SSH://[URL]
being entered into a browser (in the same way that putting telnet://[URL]
loads the windows telnet client and connects to [URL]).
I have editing the registry so that windows loads PUTTY rather than
the windows client for telnet by changing:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\telnet\shell\open\command]
@="rundll32.exe url.dll,TelnetProtocolHandler %l"
to
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell\open\command]
@="putty -telnet %l"
which works very well.
To add SSH I have added the reg key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh]
@="URL:SSH Protocol"
"EditFlags"=dword:00000002
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\DefaultIcon]
@=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,
00,74,00,25,\
00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,
00,75,00,72,00,\
6c,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,2c,00,30,00,00,00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ssh\shell\open\command]
@="putty -ssh %l"
however, if I enter ssh://[URL] (obviously URL is a working
address

) I get the error
"PuTTY Error Unable to open connection to ssh Host does not
exist"
I assume that this means my PC is loading the PUTTY client fine but
there is something wrong getting the target address into the program.
What I don't understand is why it works for telnet but not ssh!
Could anyone give me a hand?
Thanks in advance
