How to pass argument to PuTTY command file

Question

I have a batch file that runs PuTTY and executes the commands listed in a text file. I want to be able to pass parameters to a text file with my commands that will be executed on a remote server.

This is what I have now -

start C:\Users\putty.exe -load "server" -l userID -pw Password -m commands.txt

Is there a way to pass, for example, the version number as an argument to a file commands.txt?

Answer 1

You need to generate commands.txton the fly:

set PARAMETER=parameter
echo ./myscript.sh %PARAMETER% > commands.txt
start C:\Users\putty.exe -load "server" -l userID -pw Password -m commands.txt

---

Note: to automate tasks, you should use plink.exeinstead putty.exe:

set PARAMETER=parameter
echo ./myscript.sh %PARAMETER% > commands.txt
plink.exe -load "server" -l userID -pw Password -m commands.txt

Plink can even accept a command on the command line, which simplifies your task:

plink.exe -load "server" -l userID -pw Password ./myscript.sh parameter
