How to run UNIX alias from plink?

Hi,
I am new to unix and plink in general. I want to run plink.exe on windows to execute alias command on unix. Is it possible? I can run simple unix commands from plink for ex:
Code:
plink.exe -pw mypass myusername@hostip touch filename

It successfully creates the "filename" file on the hostip host.
But if I create an alias for it:
Code:
myusername>alias createfile='touch mm'

and I run from plink:
Code:
plink.exe -pw mypass myusername@hostip createfile

it returns: ksh: createfile: not found
I tried also:
Code:
plink.exe -pw mypass myusername@hostip -s createfile

result was: FATAL ERROR: Server refused to start a shell/command

So how can I run alias commands within plink?

Thanks,
Ivanhou

NAME
Net::CLI::Interact::Transport::Telnet - TELNET based CLI connection VERSION
version 1.121640 DECRIPTION
This module provides a wrapped instance of a TELNET client for use by Net::CLI::Interact. INTERFACE
app On Windows platforms you must download the "plink.exe" program, and pass its location to the library in this parameter. On other platforms, this defaults to "telnet". runtime_options Based on the "connect_options" hash provided to Net::CLI::Interact on construction, selects and formats parameters to provide to "app" on the command line. Supported attributes: host (required) Host name or IP address of the host to which the TELNET application is to connect. reap Only used on Unix platforms, this installs a signal handler which attempts to reap the "ssh" child process. Pass a true value to enable this feature only if you notice zombie processes are being left behind after use. COMPOSITION
