Plink (PuTTY Link), is a command-line connection tool similar to UNIX
\c{ssh}. It is probably not what you want if you want to run an
interactive session in a console window.
\H{plink-starting} Starting Plink
Plink is a command line application. This means that you cannot just
double-click on its icon to run it and instead you have to bring up a
\i{console window}. With Windows 95, 98, and ME, this is called an
\q{MS-DOS Prompt} and with Windows NT and 2000 it is called a
\q{Command Prompt}. It should be available from the Programs section
of your Start Menu.
To start Plink it will need either to be on your \i{\c{PATH}} or in your
current directory. To add the directory containing Plink to your
\c{PATH} environment variable, type into the console window:
\c set PATH C:\path\to\putty\directory;%PATH%
This will only work for the lifetime of that particular console
window. To set your \c{PATH} more permanently on Windows NT, use the
Environment tab of the System Control Panel. On Windows 95, 98, and
ME, you will need to edit your \c{AUTOEXEC.BAT} to include a \c{set}
command like the one above.
\H{plink-usage} Plink Usage
Once you've got a console window to type into, you can just type
\c{plink} on its own to bring up a usage message. This tells you the
version of Plink you're using, and gives you a brief summary of how to
use Plink:
\c Z:\sysosd>plink
\c PuTTY Link: command-line connection utility
\c Release 0.50
\c Usage: plink [options] [user@]host [command]
\c Options:
\c -v show verbose messages
\c -ssh force use of ssh protocol
\c -P port connect to specified port
\c -pw passw login with specified password
\S{plink-usage-basics} The basics
\S{plink-usage-options} Options
These are the command line options that Plink accepts.
