Server Connection Parameters
The way the prlctl utility connects to the Parallels server depends on the parameters passed
to the utility during its execution:
If no connection parameters are specified, prlctl assumes that the command is run on the
local server. In this case the utility has the following syntax:
prlctl command [<ID|name>] [options]
If you specify a user name but omit the server parameters, prlctl will run the command
on the local server on behalf of the specified user. In this case it has the following syntax:
prlctl command [<ID|name>] [options] -l user
If you specify the appropriate user credentials and server parameters (i.e. the server IP
address or hostname and, if necessary, the port number), prlctl will establish a
connection to the specified remote server, log in to this server using the indicated user
credentials, and run the command on the remote server. In this case the utility has the
following syntax:
prlctl command [<ID|name>] [options][-l user:passwd@server
or
prlctl command [<ID|name>] [options] -p path -l user@server
The full list of server connection parameters that can be used with prlctl is presented in the
following table:
