Remote Command Line for Mac

Remote Command Line is a remote background management feature that enables device management without requiring a full remote desktop connection. In Remote Command Line mode, any commands entered in the terminal run on the connected device as if they were entered on the local command prompt. This includes outputting their result in the terminal window.

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 leverages Take Control. If you do not have it installed, you will be prompted to download and install the Take Control Viewer.
