Plink

part of the Putty suite, plink is a command-line tool similar to ssh, mainly used for automating processes. It supports ssh, telnet, rlogin, raw, and serial connections. My limited tests indicate it runs better on Windows than on Linux. YMMV.

What is Plink?

Plink, that stands for PuTTY Link, is a command-line tool, part of the PuTTY icon PuTTY suite, similar to ssh, mainly used for automating processes. It supports ssh, telnet, rlogin, raw, and serial connections.

On a very high-level:

  • Use PuTTY for interactive SSH session from your Windows to Linux Servers
  • Use Plink for non-interactive SSH session to execute remote linux commands for automation purpose from your Windows
