Phindows & ditto

How to ditto a Photon session from a Windows box?
This is to work around a snapshot problem where snapshot
doesn’t capture anything in a phindows session.

Trying phndows -u or phindows -u -t x.x.x.x didn’t work for me.

phindows -n …

I try phindows -n /dev/photon -t 192.168.0.2
A box comes and says “Unable to Connect to IP Address”.
phindows -t 192.168.0.2 does the same thing.

If I run it without any parameters, it comes up with the
dialogue asking for the address & other things.
It then connects fine to this address, but with a separate session.

It would be useful if the dialogue offered access to all the other
parameters (e.g. -n).

I dont think it handles spaces between the option and the option argument
well. Try
phindows -n/dev/photon -t192.168.0.2

Thank you, that was the problem!
