# guacctl(1)

Guacamole control utility

## NAME

guacctl -  Guacamole control utility

## SYNOPSIS

guacctl \[OPTION\] \[FILE or NAME\]...

## DESCRIPTION

Utility for sending Guacamole-specific console codes for controlling a terminal session, such as:

 \* Downloading files (SSH only)\
\
  \* Setting the destination directory for uploads (SSH only)\
\
  \* Redirecting output to a named pipe stream (SSH or telnet)

This script may also be run as "guacget", in which case the script accepts no options and assumes anything given on the commandline is a file to be downloaded.

## OPTIONS

**-d** FILE... download each of the files listed

- **-s** DIRECTORY

  set the destination directory for future uploaded files

- **-o** NAME

  redirect output to a new pipe stream with the given name

- **-c**

  close any existing pipe stream and redirect output back to the terminal emulator
