How to mantain Shell_reverse_tcp connection?

Question

I'm experimenting with reverse shell tcp. I managed to establish a connection, but my question is, how do I mantain a connection even after I close the multihandler? And when I'm using the target's command prompt, how do I send files to the target's computer using his command prompt?

Pedro,

The short answer is you can't.

• In order to maintain a connection you need to install persistence on the victim machine. You will still have to reuse the multi/handler in order to receive a new connection.

• In order to transfer files you need to use the meterpreter payload in order to upload and download files.

• However, if you have powershell on your target machine you can run a powershell download that will fetch internet hosted resources for you.

Hope this helped.
