15 \S{plink-manpage-description} DESCRIPTION
17 \cw{plink} is a network connection tool supporting several protocols.
19 \S{plink-manpage-options} OPTIONS
21 The command-line options supported by \cw{plink} are:
25 \dd Show verbose messages.
27 \dt \cw{-load} \e{session}
29 \dd Load settings from saved session.
33 \dd Force use of SSH protocol (default).
37 \dd Force use of Telnet protocol.
41 \dd Force use of rlogin protocol.
49 \dd Connect to port \e{port}.
53 \dd Set remote username to \e{user}.
57 \dd Read remote command(s) from local file \e{path}.
61 \dd Disable interactive prompts.
63 \dt \cw{-pw} \e{password}
65 \dd Set remote password to \e{password}.
67 \dt \cw{\-L} \cw{[}\e{srcaddr}\cw{:]}\e{srcport}\cw{:}\e{desthost}\cw{:}\e{destport}
69 \dd Set up a local port forwarding: listen on \e{srcport} (or
70 \e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and forward any connections
71 over the SSH connection to the destination address
72 \e{desthost}:\e{destport}. Only works in SSH.
74 \dt \cw{\-R} \cw{[}\e{srcaddr}\cw{:]}\e{srcport}\cw{:}\e{desthost}\cw{:}\e{destport}
76 \dd Set up a remote port forwarding: ask the SSH server to listen on
77 \e{srcport} (or \e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and to
78 forward any connections back over the SSH connection where the
79 client will pass them on to the destination address
80 \e{desthost}:\e{destport}. Only works in SSH.
82 \dt \cw{\-D} [\e{srcaddr}:]\e{srcport}
84 \dd Set up dynamic port forwarding. The client listens on
85 \e{srcport} (or \e{srcaddr}:\e{srcport} if specified), and
86 implements a SOCKS server. So you can point SOCKS-aware applications
87 at this port and they will automatically use the SSH connection to
88 tunnel all their connections. Only works in SSH.
92 \dd Enable X11 forwarding.
96 \dd Disable X11 forwarding (default).
100 \dd Enable agent forwarding.
104 \dd Disable agent forwarding (default).
108 \dd Enable pty allocation (default if a command is NOT specified).
112 \dd Disable pty allocation (default if a command is specified).
116 \dd Force use of SSH protocol version 1.
120 \dd Force use of SSH protocol version 2.
124 \dd Enable SSH compression.
128 \dd Private key file for authentication.
132 \dd Remote command is SSH subsystem (SSH-2 only).
