megastar · #1 (**permalink**) 10-11-2005

i have a network drive (samba) mounted on to my PC and also i have SSH client on my machine. however i need to run applications/commands on a unix server from the middle of a different executable(windows compatable one). so i need to connect to the unix server from SSH through the executable/command prompt. Is there any way to do this? any help ....any suggestions...please.

your help is appreciated

Thanks

Many ssh clients offer a command line version that you can run on windows. So in the middle of your windows script you could call the ssh program like such:

Code:

ssh -l user unix.machine.name "command"

Combine that with a key exchange and you'll be good to go.
