Similarly to cmdgen's passphrase options, this replaces the password on the command line with a filename to read the password out of, which means it can't show up in 'ps' or the Windows task manager.

\S{plink-manpage-description} DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
\cw{plink} is a network connection tool supporting several protocols.
|
|
|
|
\S{plink-manpage-options} OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
The command-line options supported by \cw{plink} are:
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-V}
|
|
|
|
\dd Show version information and exit.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-pgpfp}
|
|
|
|
\dd Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit,
|
|
to aid in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-v}
|
|
|
|
\dd Show verbose messages.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-load} \e{session}
|
|
|
|
\dd Load settings from saved session.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-ssh}
|
|
|
|
\dd Force use of SSH protocol (default).
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-telnet}
|
|
|
|
\dd Force use of Telnet protocol.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-rlogin}
|
|
|
|
\dd Force use of rlogin protocol.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-raw}
|
|
|
|
\dd Force raw mode.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-serial}
|
|
|
|
\dd Force serial mode.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-ssh-connection}
|
|
|
|
\dd Force use of the \q{bare \cw{ssh-connection}} protocol. This is
|
|
only likely to be useful when connecting to a \cw{psusan}(\e{1})
|
|
server, most likely with an absolute path to a Unix-domain socket in
|
|
place of \e{host}.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-proxycmd} \e{command}
|
|
|
|
\dd Instead of making a TCP connection, use \e{command} as a proxy;
|
|
network traffic will be redirected to the standard input and output
|
|
of \e{command}. \e{command} must be a single word, so is likely to
|
|
need quoting by the shell.
|
|
|
|
\lcont{
|
|
The special strings \cw{%host} and \cw{%port} in \e{command} will be
|
|
replaced by the hostname and port number you want to connect to; to get
|
|
a literal \c{%} sign, enter \c{%%}.
|
|
|
|
Backslash escapes are also supported, such as sequences like \c{\\n}
|
|
being replaced by a literal newline; to get a literal backslash,
|
|
enter \c{\\\\}. (Further escaping may be required by the shell.)
|
|
|
|
(See the main PuTTY manual for full details of the supported \cw{%}-
|
|
and backslash-delimited tokens, although most of them are probably not
|
|
very useful in this context.)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-P} \e{port}
|
|
|
|
\dd Connect to port \e{port}.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-l} \e{user}
|
|
|
|
\dd Set remote username to \e{user}.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-m} \e{path}
|
|
|
|
\dd Read remote command(s) from local file \e{path}.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-batch}
|
|
|
|
\dd Disable interactive prompts.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-sanitise-stderr}
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-sanitise-stdout}
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-no-sanitise-stderr}
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-no-sanitise-stdout}
|
|
|
|
\dd By default, Plink can choose to filter control characters if that
|
|
seems appropriate, to prevent remote processes sending confusing escape
|
|
sequences. These options override Plink's default behaviour to enable
|
|
or disabling such filtering on the standard error and standard output
|
|
channels.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-pwfile} \e{filename}
|
|
|
|
\dd Open the specified file, and use the first line of text read from
|
|
it as the remote password.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-pw} \e{password}
|
|
|
|
\dd Set remote password to \e{password}. \e{CAUTION:} this will likely
|
|
make the password visible to other users of the local machine (via
|
|
commands such as \q{\c{ps}} or \q{\c{w}}). Use \cw{-pwfile} instead.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-L} \cw{[}\e{srcaddr}\cw{:]}\e{srcport}\cw{:}\e{desthost}\cw{:}\e{destport}
|
|
|
|
\dd Set up a local port forwarding: listen on \e{srcport} (or
|
|
\e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and forward any connections
|
|
over the SSH connection to the destination address
|
|
\e{desthost}:\e{destport}. Only works in SSH.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-R} \cw{[}\e{srcaddr}\cw{:]}\e{srcport}\cw{:}\e{desthost}\cw{:}\e{destport}
|
|
|
|
\dd Set up a remote port forwarding: ask the SSH server to listen on
|
|
\e{srcport} (or \e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and to
|
|
forward any connections back over the SSH connection where the
|
|
client will pass them on to the destination address
|
|
\e{desthost}:\e{destport}. Only works in SSH.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-D} [\e{srcaddr}:]\e{srcport}
|
|
|
|
\dd Set up dynamic port forwarding. The client listens on
|
|
\e{srcport} (or \e{srcaddr}:\e{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.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-X}
|
|
|
|
\dd Enable X11 forwarding.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-x}
|
|
|
|
\dd Disable X11 forwarding (default).
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-A}
|
|
|
|
\dd Enable agent forwarding.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-a}
|
|
|
|
\dd Disable agent forwarding (default).
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-t}
|
|
|
|
\dd Enable pty allocation (default if a command is NOT specified).
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-T}
|
|
|
|
\dd Disable pty allocation (default if a command is specified).
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-1}
|
|
|
|
\dd Force use of SSH protocol version 1.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-2}
|
|
|
|
\dd Force use of SSH protocol version 2.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-4}, \cw{-6}
|
|
|
|
\dd Force use of IPv4 or IPv6 for network connections.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-C}
|
|
|
|
\dd Enable SSH compression.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-i} \e{keyfile}
|
|
|
|
\dd Private key file for user authentication. For SSH-2 keys, this key
|
|
file must be in PuTTY's PPK format, not OpenSSH's format or anyone
|
|
else's.
|
|
|
|
\lcont{ If you are using an authentication agent, you can also specify
|
|
a \e{public} key here (in RFC 4716 or OpenSSH format), to identify
|
|
which of the agent's keys to use. }
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-noagent}
|
|
|
|
\dd Don't try to use an authentication agent for local authentication.
|
|
(This doesn't affect agent forwarding.)
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-agent}
|
|
|
|
\dd Allow use of an authentication agent. (This option is only necessary
|
|
to override a setting in a saved session.)
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-no\-trivial\-auth}
|
|
|
|
\dd Disconnect from any SSH server which accepts authentication without
|
|
ever having asked for any kind of password or signature or token. (You
|
|
might want to enable this for a server you always expect to challenge
|
|
you, for instance to ensure you don't accidentally type your key file's
|
|
passphrase into a compromised server spoofing Plink's passphrase
|
|
prompt.)
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-noshare}
|
|
|
|
\dd Don't test and try to share an existing connection, always make
|
|
a new connection.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-share}
|
|
|
|
\dd Test and try to share an existing connection.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-hostkey} \e{key}
|
|
|
|
\dd Specify an acceptable host public key. This option may be specified
|
|
multiple times; each key can be either a fingerprint (\cw{SHA256:AbCdE...},
|
|
\cw{99:aa:bb:...}, etc) or a base64-encoded blob in OpenSSH's one-line
|
|
format.
|
|
|
|
\lcont{ Specifying this option overrides automated host key
|
|
management; \e{only} the key(s) specified on the command-line will be
|
|
accepted (unless a saved session also overrides host keys, in which
|
|
case those will be added to), and the host key cache will not be
|
|
written. }
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-s}
|
|
|
|
\dd Remote command is SSH subsystem (SSH-2 only).
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{-N}
|
|
|
|
\dd Don't start a remote command or shell at all (SSH-2 only).
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-nc} \e{host}:\e{port}
|
|
|
|
\dd Make a remote network connection from the server instead of
|
|
starting a shell or command.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-sercfg} \e{configuration-string}
|
|
|
|
\dd Specify the configuration parameters for the serial port, in
|
|
\cw{-serial} mode. \e{configuration-string} should be a
|
|
comma-separated list of configuration parameters as follows:
|
|
|
|
\lcont{
|
|
|
|
\b Any single digit from 5 to 9 sets the number of data bits.
|
|
|
|
\b \cq{1}, \cq{1.5} or \cq{2} sets the number of stop bits.
|
|
|
|
\b Any other numeric string is interpreted as a baud rate.
|
|
|
|
\b A single lower-case letter specifies the parity: \cq{n} for none,
|
|
\cq{o} for odd, \cq{e} for even, \cq{m} for mark and \cq{s} for space.
|
|
|
|
\b A single upper-case letter specifies the flow control: \cq{N} for
|
|
none, \cq{X} for XON/XOFF, \cq{R} for RTS/CTS and \cq{D} for
|
|
DSR/DTR.
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-sshlog} \e{logfile}
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-sshrawlog} \e{logfile}
|
|
|
|
\dd For SSH connections, these options make \cw{plink} log protocol
|
|
details to a file. (Some of these may be sensitive, although by default
|
|
an effort is made to suppress obvious passwords.)
|
|
|
|
\lcont{
|
|
\cw{\-sshlog} logs decoded SSH packets and other events (those that
|
|
\cw{\-v} would print). \cw{\-sshrawlog} additionally logs the raw
|
|
encrypted packet data.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-logoverwrite}
|
|
|
|
\dd If Plink is configured to write to a log file that already exists,
|
|
discard the existing file.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-logappend}
|
|
|
|
\dd If Plink is configured to write to a log file that already exists,
|
|
append new log data to the existing file.
|
|
|
|
\dt \cw{\-shareexists}
|
|
|
|
\dd Instead of making a new connection, test for the presence of an
|
|
existing connection that can be shared. The desired session can be
|
|
specified in any of the usual ways.
|
|
|
|
\lcont{
|
|
Returns immediately with a zero exit status if a suitable \q{upstream}
|
|
exists, nonzero otherwise.
