Altap Salamander Support Forums

For remote maintenance I often use psexec to open a remote command shell on other network computers. It would be great if the network plugin would allow the use of the user menu so a menu entry could be created to do this.

Additionally, could a remote shell instead of a local one be opened on Num / when a computername is selected?

So what you need is option to pass focused servername into the User Menu as parameter?

Yes, and the User Menu has to be enabled (it is disabled now when the network plugin is in the active panel).

We are not sure if enabling User Menu for file systems and archivers is a way to go. Right now the User Menu is closely associated with disk paths.

There is one relatively easy way to solve your problem: write simple plugin, just extension of Salamander Plugins menu.
It is possible to add desired commands there and get content of the Name column even from file system plugins (such as Network plugin).

Such plugin should be really simple, approximately 5KB of source code in Visual C++ (Express Edition).

It seems like you are challenging me
Anyway, I did some registry hacking to get a solution for me: I added a custom entry in the folder context menu.
