When the program first runs, FortressCL Site Manager dialog will open, which is used to create, remove, and modify new connections. Use the Wizard or Add button to create a new profile. Each profile will need a minimum of host address, port, and authentication method. If the password method is selected, then a username must be entered.
After adding a profile, choose the profile to connect, and click the Connect button to connect to the host.
FortessCL will connect to the remote host and you will be at the Telnet prompt. Close the session using the Disconnect menu item or toolbar button.
Each instance of FortressCL can be connected to a single host. Once disconnected, a new session can be started. If multiple sessions need to occur simultaneously, run separate instances of FortressCL.
