Remote Command Line for Mac

Remote Command Line is a background management feature that lets you manage a device without opening a full remote desktop session. In Remote Command Line mode:

  • Commands you enter in the terminal run on the connected device as if entered locally.

  • The terminal displays the output of each command.

You will need to have the necessary user permissions to access Remote Command Line. Review the permissions needed under Devices > Direct Support in the Permissions Dictionary.

Remote Command Line uses Take Control. If it’s not installed, you will be prompted to download and install the Take Control Viewer.
