NAME¶
plink - PuTTY link, command line network connection tool
SYNOPSIS¶
plink [options] [user@]host [command]
DESCRIPTION¶
plink is a network connection tool supporting several protocols.
OPTIONS¶
The command-line options supported by
plink are:
- -V
- Show version information and exit.
- -pgpfp
- Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and
exit, to aid in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
- -v
- Show verbose messages.
- -load session
- Load settings from saved session.
- -ssh
- Force use of SSH protocol (default).
- -telnet
- Force use of Telnet protocol.
- -rlogin
- Force use of rlogin protocol.
- -raw
- Force raw mode.
- -serial
- Force serial mode.
- -P port
- Connect to port port.
- -l user
- Set remote username to user.
- -m path
- Read remote command(s) from local file path.
- -batch
- Disable interactive prompts.
- -pw password
- Set remote password to password. CAUTION:
this will likely make the password visible to other users of the local
machine (via commands such as ` w').
- -L
[srcaddr:]srcport:
desthost: destport
- Set up a local port forwarding: listen on srcport
(or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and forward any
connections over the SSH connection to the destination address
desthost: destport. Only works in SSH.
- -R
[srcaddr:]srcport:
desthost: destport
- Set up a remote port forwarding: ask the SSH server to
listen on srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified),
and to forward any connections back over the SSH connection where the
client will pass them on to the destination address
desthost:destport. Only works in SSH.
- -D [srcaddr:]srcport
- Set up dynamic port forwarding. The client listens on
srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and
implements a SOCKS server. So you can point SOCKS-aware applications at
this port and they will automatically use the SSH connection to tunnel all
their connections. Only works in SSH.
- -X
- Enable X11 forwarding.
- -x
- Disable X11 forwarding (default).
- -A
- Enable agent forwarding.
- -a
- Disable agent forwarding (default).
- -t
- Enable pty allocation (default if a command is NOT
specified).
- -T
- Disable pty allocation (default if a command is
specified).
- -1
- Force use of SSH protocol version 1.
- -2
- Force use of SSH protocol version 2.
- -C
- Enable SSH compression.
- -i path
- Private key file for authentication.
- -s
- Remote command is SSH subsystem (SSH-2 only).
- -N
- Don't start a remote command or shell at all (SSH-2
only).
- -sercfg configuration-string
- Specify the configuration parameters for the serial port,
in -serial mode. configuration-string should be a
comma-separated list of configuration parameters as follows:
- •
- Any single digit from 5 to 9 sets the number of data
bits.
- •
- `1', `1.5' or `2' sets the number of
stop bits.
- •
- Any other numeric string is interpreted as a baud
rate.
- •
- A single lower-case letter specifies the parity: `n'
for none, ` o' for odd, `e' for even, `m' for mark
and ` s' for space.
- •
- A single upper-case letter specifies the flow control:
`N' for none, ` X' for XON/XOFF, `R' for RTS/CTS and
` D' for DSR/DTR.
