Hi,

I am trying to use Plink for running commands on remote server. Both, local & remote machine are Windows. Though I am able to connect to the remote machine using Plink, i am not able to use the '-m file' option.

I tried the following three ways but to no avail:


Try 1: plink.exe -ssh -pw mypwd gchhabra@machine -m file.txt

Could not chdir to home directory /home/gchhabra: No such file or directory dir: not found

  • file.txt only contains one command i.e., dir

Try 2: plink.exe -ssh -pw mypwd gchhabra@machine dir

Could not chdir to home directory /home/gchhabra: No such file or directory dir: not found


Try 3: plink.exe -ssh -pw mypwd gchhabra@machine < file.txt

In this case, I get the following output:

Using username "gchhabra".

                        ****USAGE WARNING****

dirCould not chdir to home directory /home/gchhabra: No such file or directory Microsoft Windows [Version x.x.xxx] (C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Program Files\OpenSSH>

After I get the above prompt, it hangs.


Can anyone please help me with this?

Regards,

Gaurav
