Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions

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
