As we can see that we have a command shell opened, it is always desirable to have better-controlled access like the one provided by Meterpreter. In such scenarios, we can upgrade the session using the -u switch, as shown in the following screenshot:
Amazing! We just updated our shell to a Meterpreter shell and gained better control of the target.
