Configure MobaXterm as default client in EVE-NG (Telnet Wrapper)

[helendam01]

Hi everyone,That's Not My Neighbor
I'm trying to set MobaXterm as the default telnet client to connect to devices in EVE-NG, because I like the tabbed, lightweight, and portable interface of Moba. However, I'm having trouble with the fact that when I click on a node in EVE-NG, MobaXterm just opens up and doesn't automatically telnet to that device.

I've tried adding a registry key to map the telnet protocol to MobaXterm, but it seems like the syntax or command line parameters I'm using are incorrect.
Here's what I tried:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\telnet\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Tools\\MobaXterm\\MobaXterm.exe\" -newtab telnet://%1"

Note: I use the portable version, so the path is not in Program Files.

EVE-NG still calls the correct protocol telnet://127.0.0.1:32769, but MobaXterm only opens a new tab without running the session. I suspect that the command line syntax or the way Moba handles telnet://

My question is:
Has anyone successfully configured MobaXterm to open a telnet session directly from EVE-NG?

If possible, can everyone share the exact command line syntax or the .bat script used as a wrapper?

I prefer to use free software, so SecureCRT is temporarily put aside. Hopefully, someone who has done it before can help.

I think the most reliable and widely used solution for this case is to use a small batch (.bat) script. This script will take the entire `telnet://` URL, parse the hostname and port, then launch MobaXterm with the exact command line parameters it needs.

How do you create an intermediate batch script that parses the telnet://host:port URL from EVE-NG, separates host/port and passes the correct command line parameters to MobaXterm Portable
