But how would i access it directly from my VB code? What you've given is the
commands for the command line.
Yea, i've tried putty but then that open the linux box and shows that to the
user, which is not the requirement for the project unfortunately.
Maybe if there was a way i could hard code the IP address and the username
and password into PuTTy so would auto connect and login on launch?
