OPTIONS

15       The command-line options supported by plink are:
16
17       -V     Show version information and exit.
18
19       -pgpfp Display  the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit,
20              to aid in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
21
22       -v     Show verbose messages.
23
24       -load session
25              Load settings from saved session.
26
27       -ssh   Force use of SSH protocol (default).
28
29       -telnet
30              Force use of Telnet protocol.
31
32       -rlogin
33              Force use of rlogin protocol.
34
35       -raw   Force raw mode.
36
37       -P port
38              Connect to port port.
39
40       -l user
41              Set remote username to user.
42
43       -m path
44              Read remote command(s) from local file path.
45
46       -batch Disable interactive prompts.
47
48       -pw password
49              Set remote password to password. CAUTION: this will likely  make
50              the  password  visible  to other users of the local machine (via
51              commands such as `w').
52
53       ‐L [srcaddr:]srcport:desthost:destport
54              Set  up  a  local  port  forwarding:  listen  on   srcport   (or
55              srcaddr:srcport  if specified), and forward any connections over
56              the SSH connection to the destination address desthost:destport.
57              Only works in SSH.
58
59       ‐R [srcaddr:]srcport:desthost:destport
60              Set up a remote port forwarding: ask the SSH server to listen on
61              srcport (or srcaddr:srcport if specified), and  to  forward  any
62              connections  back  over the SSH connection where the client will
63              pass them on to the destination address desthost:destport.  Only
64              works in SSH.
65
66       ‐D [srcaddr:]srcport
67              Set  up  dynamic  port forwarding. The client listens on srcport
68              (or  srcaddr:srcport  if  specified),  and  implements  a  SOCKS
69              server.  So  you can point SOCKS-aware applications at this port
70              and they will automatically use the SSH connection to tunnel all
71              their connections. Only works in SSH.
72
73       -X     Enable X11 forwarding.
74
75       -x     Disable X11 forwarding (default).
76
77       -A     Enable agent forwarding.
78
79       -a     Disable agent forwarding (default).
80
81       -t     Enable pty allocation (default if a command is NOT specified).
82
83       -T     Disable pty allocation (default if a command is specified).
84
85       -1     Force use of SSH protocol version 1.
86
87       -2     Force use of SSH protocol version 2.
88
89       -C     Enable SSH compression.
90
91       -i path
92              Private key file for authentication.
93
94       -s     Remote command is SSH subsystem (SSH-2 only).
95
96       -N     Don't start a remote command or shell at all (SSH-2 only).
