Winsock RSHD Remote Shell Daemon 1.3
Copyright 1994 Denicomp Systems
All rights reserved
Winsock RSHD is the Windows Sockets version of the Unix Remote Shell Daemon.
It accepts requests from remote hosts (Unix or other PC's) via the standard
"rsh" command and executes them on the PC running Winsock RSHD. It also allows
file copying to and from the PC via the standard "rcp" command.
A special "SendKeys" extension allows some remote control of Windows programs
through the standard "rsh" command, even from Unix.
Security can also be enforced by specifying which hosts and/or users can access
the PC through Winsock RSHD.
Files can be copied to and from the PC via "rcp" from Unix hosts or other PC's
on the network. Remote copy support includes support for wildcard copies and
recursive copies of entire directory trees.
Winsock RSHD works with most Windows Sockets compatible TCP/IP stacks. It has
been tested with the following TCP/IP packages:
Microsoft 32-Bit TCP/IP for Windows
Wollongong Pathway Access
Novell LAN Workplace for DOS Version 4.2
If your TCP/IP stack does not include the "rsh" and/or "rcp" utilities, you can
use Winsock RCP/RSH, available also from Denicomp Systems. These are Windows
Sockets versions of these two utilities.
To experiment with Winsock RSHD, use PKUNZIP to uncompress the distribution
file.
Then use File/Run from the Windows Program Manager menu. Enter the drive and
directory name that contains the uncompressed files, followed by "SETUP".
For example, if you uncompressed Winsock RSHD into the directory C:\RSHD,
type C:\RSHD\SETUP.
Select a target drive and directory to install to and click on OK. It should
NOT be the same directory in which you uncompressed the distribution file.
The Winsock Utilities group will be created. Icons will be in this group for
Winsock RSHD, the Winsock RSHD Configuration program, and with options to
view/print the order form and the manual for using Winsock RSHD.
SHAREWARE
---------
Winsock RSHD is shareware. You can try it for thirty (30) days. If you find
it useful, you can register it using the order form included. If you do not
wish to register it, delete it from your hard disk or pass it along to a
friend who may find it useful.
By registering, you will receive the latest version of the product,
printed documentation, and support via US Mail or Compuserve.
The shareware version of the product is fully functional except for the
following:
* When you execute a command via "rsh" from a Unix system, Winsock RSHD
will return a message about Winsock RSHD not being registered, which will
display on the Unix terminal from which the command was initiated.
* At random times, Winsock RSHD will require you to click on an "OK" button
when a command request or remote copy request is received. Winsock RSHD
will pause and wait for you to click on "OK". This will also cause the
"rsh" or "rcp" command on the requesting host to pause. Once "OK" is
clicked, Winsock RSHD will complete the request. No other requests will
be serviced until then.
This will NOT occur more than once per hour (or not at all if you get
lucky!!).

ALSO AVAILABLE
--------------
Related utilities also available from Denicomp Systems are: Winsock RCP/RSH,
Winsock RCMD.DLL, and Winsock RCP.DLL.
Winsock RCP/RSH are the Windows Sockets versions of two utilities normally
found on Unix systems. They work with any Windows Sockets compatible TCP/IP
stack, including Microsoft's TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups. Both RCP and
RSH are included in the package.
Winsock RCP, or Remote Copy, copies files from your Windows PC to a Unix
system, from a Unix system to your PC, or between two Unix systems. You can
copy individual files or recusively copy entire directory trees.
Winsock RSH, or Remote Shell, runs a specified command on the Unix system.
Any output of the command can be displayed in a window or can be directed to
a file.
Although Winsock RCP/RSH are command-line oriented programs (but do require
Windows), also included are Visual RCP and Visual RSH, which are simple Windows
interfaces to the two commands.
For Windows programmers, also available is Winsock RCMD.DLL and Winsock RCP.DLL,
which are Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) callable from almost any language that
allows DLL calls, such as C, C++, or Visual Basic.
Winsock RCMD.DLL provides a function similar to the Berkeley Sockets "rcmd"
function for Windows Sockets. This provides the ability to initiate Unix
commands from within your Windows program and capture any output from that
command.
Winsock RCP.DLL provides a function that allows you to copy files to and from
remote hosts from within your programs, just like the Winsock RCP command.
It also includes the recusive copy capability.
Example programs are provided for both C and Visual Basic.
To also order Winsock RCP/RSH, Winsock RCP.DLL, or Winsock RCMD.DLL, use the
included order form or use Compuserve's online software registration system.
The SWREG numbers are:
Winsock RCP/RSH: SWREG #4008
Winsock RCP.DLL SWREG #4009
Winsock RCMD.DLL SWREG #4011
