The command line interface for putty is plink.exe. You can use plink to send commands over ssh.

For example: PS C:> c:\progra~2\putty\plink.exe -i C:\credentials\mykeyfile.ppk [email protected] "ls";

Things to remember:

The first time you connect to a server, you'll have to add it to your registry, so this won't work in a non-interactive mode for brand new servers. There isn't a way to disable this.

The key file has to be in ppk format for plink.exe to recognize it. If yours is in pem format, use puttygen.exe to create a ppk file.

The path to the key file cannot contain any spaces, or the command above won't work.

If you want to send multiple commands at once, write them to a file and use the -m switch with plink.exe.

If you need to transfer files, you can use pscp.exe in a similar fashion.
