\S{plink-manpage-description} DESCRIPTION

\cw{plink} is a network connection tool supporting several protocols.

\S{plink-manpage-options} OPTIONS

The command-line options supported by \cw{plink} are:

\dt \cw{-V}

\dd Show version information and exit.

\dt \cw{-pgpfp}

\dd Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit,
to aid in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.

\dt \cw{-v}

\dd Show verbose messages.

\dt \cw{-load} \e{session}

\dd Load settings from saved session.

\dt \cw{-ssh}

\dd Force use of SSH protocol (default).

\dt \cw{-telnet}

\dd Force use of Telnet protocol.

\dt \cw{-rlogin}

\dd Force use of rlogin protocol.

\dt \cw{-raw}

\dd Force raw mode.

\dt \cw{-P} \e{port}

\dd Connect to port \e{port}.

\dt \cw{-l} \e{user}

\dd Set remote username to \e{user}.

\dt \cw{-m} \e{path}

\dd Read remote command(s) from local file \e{path}.

\dt \cw{-batch}

\dd Disable interactive prompts.

\dt \cw{-pw} \e{password}

\dd Set remote password to \e{password}. \e{CAUTION:} this will likely
make the password visible to other users of the local machine (via
commands such as \q{\c{w}}).

\dt \cw{\-L} \cw{[}\e{srcaddr}\cw{:]}\e{srcport}\cw{:}\e{desthost}\cw{:}\e{destport}

\dd Set up a local port forwarding: listen on \e{srcport} (or
\e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and forward any connections
over the SSH connection to the destination address
\e{desthost}:\e{destport}. Only works in SSH.

\dt \cw{\-R} \cw{[}\e{srcaddr}\cw{:]}\e{srcport}\cw{:}\e{desthost}\cw{:}\e{destport}

\dd Set up a remote port forwarding: ask the SSH server to listen on
\e{srcport} (or \e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and to
forward any connections back over the SSH connection where the
client will pass them on to the destination address
\e{desthost}:\e{destport}. Only works in SSH.

\dt \cw{\-D} [\e{srcaddr}:]\e{srcport}

\dd Set up dynamic port forwarding. The client listens on
\e{srcport} (or \e{srcaddr}:\e{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.

\dt \cw{-X}

\dd Enable X11 forwarding.

\dt \cw{-x}

\dd Disable X11 forwarding (default).

\dt \cw{-A}

\dd Enable agent forwarding.

\dt \cw{-a}

\dd Disable agent forwarding (default).

\dt \cw{-t}

\dd Enable pty allocation (default if a command is NOT specified).

\dt \cw{-T}

\dd Disable pty allocation (default if a command is specified).

\dt \cw{-1}

\dd Force use of SSH protocol version 1.

\dt \cw{-2}

\dd Force use of SSH protocol version 2.

\dt \cw{-C}

\dd Enable SSH compression.

\dt \cw{-i} \e{path}

\dd Private key file for authentication.

\dt \cw{-s}

\dd Remote command is SSH subsystem (SSH-2 only).

\dt \cw{-N}

\dd Don't start a remote command or shell at all (SSH-2 only).
