\S{plink-manpage-name} NAME
\cw{plink} \- PuTTY link, command line network connection tool
\S{plink-manpage-synopsis} SYNOPSIS
\c plink [options] [user@]host [command]

\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{-serial}
\dd Force serial 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).
\dt \cw{\-sercfg} \e{configuration-string}
\dd Specify the configuration parameters for the serial port, in
\cw{-serial} mode. \e{configuration-string} should be a
comma-separated list of configuration parameters as follows:
\lcont{
\b Any single digit from 5 to 9 sets the number of data bits.
\b \cq{1}, \cq{1.5} or \cq{2} sets the number of stop bits.
\b Any other numeric string is interpreted as a baud rate.
\b A single lower-case letter specifies the parity: \cq{n} for none,
\cq{o} for odd, \cq{e} for even, \cq{m} for mark and \cq{s} for space.
\b A single upper-case letter specifies the flow control: \cq{N} for
none, \cq{X} for XON/XOFF, \cq{R} for RTS/CTS and \cq{D} for
DSR/DTR.
