Using Extraputty TestStand 2014

Solved!
Go to solution

Curious if Extraputty is supported by TestStand2014. I've installed putty as well as the teststand steps during installation process. However, while trying to insert a step i don't get an option for extraputty as shown in link below.

What is necessary inorder to start an SSH connection?

J Meye,

 

 This is Ali from National Instrument's applications engineering. Did you have a chance to look at these forum posts below? They are also configuring Extraputty to connect with TestStand 2012. Since there hasn't been too much of a change in either software, did you have any success with following these steps?

Additionally, is this a 32 bit system? There have been issues configuring with 65 bit systems with Extraputty.

Thank you for the response. The first link provided was able to solve most of my issues associated with ExtraPutty. This is a 64 bit system running the 32 bit version of TestStand2014.
