14 \S{plink-manpage-description} DESCRIPTION
15
16 \cw{plink} is a network connection tool supporting several protocols.
17
18 \S{plink-manpage-options} OPTIONS
19
20 The command-line options supported by \cw{plink} are:
21
22 \dt \cw{-V}
23
24 \dd Show version information and exit.
25
26 \dt \cw{-pgpfp}
27
28 \dd Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit,
29 to aid in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
30
31 \dt \cw{-v}
32
33 \dd Show verbose messages.
34
35 \dt \cw{-load} \e{session}
36
37 \dd Load settings from saved session.
38
39 \dt \cw{-ssh}
40
41 \dd Force use of SSH protocol (default).
42
43 \dt \cw{-telnet}
44
45 \dd Force use of Telnet protocol.
46
47 \dt \cw{-rlogin}
48
49 \dd Force use of rlogin protocol.
50
51 \dt \cw{-raw}
52
53 \dd Force raw mode.
54
55 \dt \cw{-P} \e{port}
56
57 \dd Connect to port \e{port}.
58
59 \dt \cw{-l} \e{user}
60
61 \dd Set remote username to \e{user}.
62
63 \dt \cw{-m} \e{path}
64
65 \dd Read remote command(s) from local file \e{path}.
66
67 \dt \cw{-batch}
68
69 \dd Disable interactive prompts.
70
71 \dt \cw{-pw} \e{password}
72
73 \dd Set remote password to \e{password}. \e{CAUTION:} this will likely
74 make the password visible to other users of the local machine (via
75 commands such as \q{\c{w}}).
76
77 \dt \cw{\-L} \cw{[}\e{srcaddr}\cw{:]}\e{srcport}\cw{:}\e{desthost}\cw{:}\e{destport}
78
79 \dd Set up a local port forwarding: listen on \e{srcport} (or
80 \e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and forward any connections
81 over the SSH connection to the destination address
82 \e{desthost}:\e{destport}. Only works in SSH.
83
84 \dt \cw{\-R} \cw{[}\e{srcaddr}\cw{:]}\e{srcport}\cw{:}\e{desthost}\cw{:}\e{destport}
85
86 \dd Set up a remote port forwarding: ask the SSH server to listen on
87 \e{srcport} (or \e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and to
88 forward any connections back over the SSH connection where the
89 client will pass them on to the destination address
90 \e{desthost}:\e{destport}. Only works in SSH.
91
92 \dt \cw{\-D} [\e{srcaddr}:]\e{srcport}
93
94 \dd Set up dynamic port forwarding. The client listens on
95 \e{srcport} (or \e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and
96 implements a SOCKS server. So you can point SOCKS-aware applications
97 at this port and they will automatically use the SSH connection to
98 tunnel all their connections. Only works in SSH.
99
100 \dt \cw{-X}
101
102 \dd Enable X11 forwarding.
103
104 \dt \cw{-x}
105
106 \dd Disable X11 forwarding (default).
107
108 \dt \cw{-A}
109
110 \dd Enable agent forwarding.
111
112 \dt \cw{-a}
113
114 \dd Disable agent forwarding (default).
115
116 \dt \cw{-t}
117
118 \dd Enable pty allocation (default if a command is NOT specified).
119
120 \dt \cw{-T}
121
122 \dd Disable pty allocation (default if a command is specified).
123
124 \dt \cw{-1}
125
126 \dd Force use of SSH protocol version 1.
127
128 \dt \cw{-2}
129
130 \dd Force use of SSH protocol version 2.
131
132 \dt \cw{-C}
133
134 \dd Enable SSH compression.
135
136 \dt \cw{-i} \e{path}
137
138 \dd Private key file for authentication.
139
140 \dt \cw{-s}
141
142 \dd Remote command is SSH subsystem (SSH-2 only).
143
144 \dt \cw{-N}
145
146 \dd Don't start a remote command or shell at all (SSH-2 only).
