The command line provides a tool to automate AnyDesk using scripts. For some cases AnyDesk uses the pipe mechanism of the operating system instead of parameters for higher security.

- TCP-Ports 80, 443 and 6568. Windows Firewall request to allow the TCP-Listening Port on first session request. Windows Firewall If the TCP-Listening Port is enabled on AnyDesk clients that are not yet installed hence run portable, the Windows Firewall will asked for permission on the first session request. Disable the TCP.
- Could Not Connect To The Anydesk Network (resultquit) 'anydesk' 'could Not Connect' Any one of the preceeding actions can end up Delete My AnyDesk could not connect.
From inside the Delphi XE5 IDE I cannot connect to an Interbase-Server on the network: Unable to complete network request to host 'HOST:3054'. Failed to establish a connection.

Automatic Execution (script)
AnyDesk can be installed by script with the following command:
anydesk.exe --install <location> --start-with-win
Important:
<location> must be a valid installation path, e.g. c:anydesk
. Currently, AnyDesk must be startedwith Windows.
For more installation parameters, see Automatic Deployment.
Initialization Parameters
Parameter | Description |
--control | Start the process which creates the tray icon. During installation, AnyDesk creates a link with this parameter in the autostart start menu entry (for Windows only). |
--tray | Start the process which creates the tray icon (for Windows only). |
--start-service | Start the AnyDesk service, if not already running (for Windows, Administrator privileges required). |
--service | Start the AnyDesk service, if not already running (for Linux). |
--stop-service | Stop the AnyDesk service. |
--restart-service | Restart the AnyDesk service. |
--silent | AnyDesk will not display message boxes when this parameter is specified. Recommended for scripts. |
--remove | Uninstall AnyDesk with no notice (silent uninstall). |
Get Alias, ID, Status or Version
AnyDesk writes requested information to stdout
.If the service is not running, SERVICE_NOT_RUNNING
is returned and an exit is set indicating the error. If AnyDesk is not installed, it needs to be started first, in order to launch a local service.
On Linux, get AnyDesk Alias or ID of the installed and running AnyDesk, with this syntax:
anydesk --get-alias
anydesk --get-id
anydesk --get-status
anydesk --version
Use batch scripts for Windows:
to get ID:
to get Alias:
to get status:
to get version:
Setting a Password
For security reasons, a password for unattended access can not be set from the command line directly as this would enable malicious users to spy the password from the command line in Task Manager. Instead, a pipe is used to set the password.
echo password | anydesk.exe --set-password
Examples:
Standard client: echo my_new_password | anydesk.exe --set-password
Custom client: echo my_new_password | anydesk-123abc456.exe --set-password
This requires administrator privileges.
Removing the Password (for Windows only)
A non-preset unattended access password can also be removed from the AnyDesk client using the command line.
Examples:
Standard client: anydesk.exe --remove-password
Custom client: anydesk-123abc456.exe --remove-password
This requires administrator privileges.
Registering License Key
You can register a license with the current AnyDesk installation using the command line. The service must be running.
echo license_keyABC | anydesk.exe --register-license
Almost every scripting language has a pipe interface for stdin
and stdout
. See the programming language documentation for more information.
Connection Parameters
To connect to a remote AnyDesk ID or Alias, the syntax is: anydesk.exe alias@ad
The following commands can be added after the destination address (for Windows only):
--file-transfer | Start the file transfer session. |
--fullscreen | Start a session with fullscreen mode. |
--plain | Start a plain session, without window title and toolbar. |
