So an SSH connection is enough?No download on a target machine?
If it runs locals commands and they are supported by target machine, it is
enough?
Where can i find the commands used?
Last question: on web interface in "Target->Credentials->New Credential" i
can't setup the SSH port...it works only on port 22?
Thank you
