Installation / setup

It also has an agtlinux_ng_requirements.txt file that is used to install the Python requirements for this connector. To install the Python packages required by the agtlinux_ng connector, run the following command from a command prompt:

Upgrade notes

Added the agtlinux_ng connector for the Generic Linux Server NewGen (SSH) target type in Connector Pack 4.4.0. It was renamed Generic Linux Server (SSH) in 4.7.0.

It is recommended to use the agtlinux_ng connnector that uses the Python integration when targeting Linux servers. This connector should be used instead of the older agtlinux connector, which uses a PSLang script and agtssh.exe .
