SSH client in command line mode

[Lee, Michael X -ND]

Hello,

I am a user of the GPL version of Mindterm 1, and I'm looking to upgrade to the commercial license of Mindterm 2.  

The key functionality for me is the ability to pass the password on the command line (so that I can wrap SSH in an Ant script).  In mindterm 1, I use the following command line to connect to a SSH1 host

"java -jar mindterm.jar --d --h <mindterm.home> -usrname <username> -password <password> -server <host>"

and it takes me straight to a shell on the remote server (In our Ant user we only use SSH to invoke commands on the remote server).

In Mindterm 2, I am trying to achieve the same thing against a SSH2 host, and I am trying to use the following command line

"java -jar mindterm.jar --d --h <mindterm.home> --p none -usrname <username> -password <password> -protocol ssh2 -auth-method password -server <host>"

In this case the password method is the only one that will work.  If I run it with the command line above, I get the following output

$B!D(J but I don't get a shell.

If I run the same command, without the "--d" option, it opens a window, creates a connection to the server and gives me a shell.

Is there something I'm missing here?  We need it to work from the command line.

Thanks, Michael.
