Is possible to add Winbox to Dude 6.48.3

Thu Aug 05, 2021 5:30 pm

I added Winbox to "tools" menu of Dude 6.48.3
"C:\mikrotik\winbox64.exe"
[Device.FirstAddress]

On selecting it opens winbox but does open selected device !
I get "ERROR: could not connect to XX.XX.XX.XX

Any advice is welcome!

the command must not be multiline, and also you must provide username and password.

Use this:

Dude Tool code

"C:\MikroTik\WinBox64.exe" [Device.FirstAddress] [Device.UserName] [Device.Password]

Many thanks for your reply but this a configuration issue!

"C:\MikroTik\WinBox64.exe" [Device.FirstAddress] [Device.UserName] [Device.Password]
When I select winbox In the "Connect To" field is IP + user + Pwd is also listed
Remove user + Pwd details from the "Connect To" field and enter user and pwd details then Winbox will connect

IF i use
"C:\MikroTik\WinBox64.exe" [Device.FirstAddress] - device will not connect even with user + pwd details entered !

OK I am making progress - spaces between variables !
"C:\mikrotik\winbox64.exe" [Device.FirstAddress] [Device.UserName] [Device.Password]

Now even the same admin password is used on the devices - i have to re-enter into the password field each time with winbox!

I get "ERROR: could not connect to XX.XX.XX.XX
This is an indication that you can not reach or connect to the device for some reason..

It is not a problem related to The Dude and Winbox ...

When I set the WinBox tool in a way I have described, just click with right button over the device icon on dude and select tools / winbox,
if the device ar reachable using directly winbox, still reachable also by dude tools / winbox.

If you have set the right username and password inside dude, all works,
but if you have used different username and password for winbox access, at least say "ERROR: wrong username or password"

@Gombeen666
Everything else you wrote, it makes no sense to me.

With double spaces between the variables , getting "ERROR: wrong username or password" I remove old password (if its there as there no option to reveal password) and enter password
Winbox opens, I close Winbox and reopen the same device and once again get "ERROR: wrong username or password", so Winbox is not remembering the Session even though "Autosave session
is enabled "

OK - finally sorted it out it appears what was missing was the inverted commas around "[Device.Password]"

"C:\mikrotik\winbox64.exe" [Device.FirstAddress] [Device.UserName] "[Device.Password]"

Probably because on password are presents one or more reserved DOS charactes...
Or simply a space...

"C:\mikrotik\winbox64.exe" [Device.FirstAddress] [Device.UserName] "[Device.Password]"
just to throw this in here too

This works for a static always use this username/password regardless of what device is saved with and regardless what is logged into DUDE
c:\winbox.exe [Device.FirstAddress] username password

This one logs in pulling from DUDE log in
c:\winbox.exe [Device.FirstAddress] [Admin.Name] [Admin.Password]

And testing, this works fine in our DUDE
c:\winbox.exe [Device.FirstAddress] [Device.UserName] [Device.Password]
May be related to you having "" at the directory which shouldnt be needed since you have no spaces in the directories names

no, it has a space on the username or password and is interpreted by winbox as the fourth parameter
or
has a DOS reserved character on password, such as > and the command line is corrupted

the " on filename are required if winbox is correclty installed on his own directory (with spaces on name) like
"C:\Program Files\WinBox\winbox64.exe"

True, I was assuming no spaces in username/password, then yes I can understand the need for "" around the one with a space
