NAME

plink - PuTTY link, command line network connection tool  

SYNOPSIS

plink [options] [user@]host [command]
 

DESCRIPTION

plink is a network connection tool supporting several protocols.  

OPTIONS

The command-line options supported by plink are:

-V
Show version information and exit.
-pgpfp
Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit, to aid in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
-v
Show verbose messages.
-load session
Load settings from saved session.
-ssh
Force use of SSH protocol (default).
-telnet
Force use of Telnet protocol.
-rlogin
Force use of rlogin protocol.
-raw
Force raw mode.
-P port
Connect to port port.
-l user
Set remote username to user.
-m path
Read remote command(s) from local file path.
-batch
Disable interactive prompts.
-pw password
Set remote password to password. CAUTION: this will likely make the password visible to other users of the local machine (via commands such as `w').
-L [srcaddr:]srcport:desthost:destport
Set up a local port forwarding: listen on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and forward any connections over the SSH connection to the destination address desthost:destport. Only works in SSH.
-R [srcaddr:]srcport:desthost:destport
Set up a remote port forwarding: ask the SSH server to listen on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and to forward any connections back over the SSH connection where the client will pass them on to the destination address desthost:destport. Only works in SSH.
-D [srcaddr:]srcport
Set up dynamic port forwarding. The client listens on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and implements a SOCKS server. So you can point SOCKS-aware applications at this port and they will automatically use the SSH connection to tunnel all their connections. Only works in SSH.
-X
Enable X11 forwarding.
-x
Disable X11 forwarding (default).
-A
Enable agent forwarding.
-a
Disable agent forwarding (default).
-t
Enable pty allocation (default if a command is NOT specified).
-T
Disable pty allocation (default if a command is specified).
-1
Force use of SSH protocol version 1.
-2
Force use of SSH protocol version 2.
-C
Enable SSH compression.
-i path
