Send commands to be executed in the remote host using putty

I have to run a bunch of commands for a process. I am able to call and login to Putty using the command below and want to be able to execute tar and other things.

I call putty using the following

"C:\Users\PSingh69\Desktop\putty.exe -ssh"&" "&UserName & "@10.177.104.109 -pw" &" "&Passwrd

Commands to send to the remote host using Putty:

cd /psingh69/home/                                                    
tar -cvf /psingh69/home/inbox/myfile.tar ./home/inputfiles/myfile.txt 
tar -tvf /psingh69/home/inbox/myfile.tar                              
cd /psingh69/home/destfolder/inbox/                                   
chmod 777 /psingh69/home/destfolder/inbox/myfile.tar

I am able to login to Putty using above command, but I am not sure of how to make the remote host run the above lines.

Most versions of Putty allow you to specify a "remote command file" using the -m command-line switch. Add your commands to a text file and pass it as a parameter to your putty.exe command:

> putty.exe ... -m "c:\mycommands.sh"

Note that you'll need to escape your quotes (by doubling them) when used in a VBScript string literal:

pcmd = "putty.exe -m ""c:\mycommands.sh"""
