\i{Plink} (PuTTY Link), is a command-line connection tool similar to
UNIX \c{ssh}. It is probably not what you want if you want to run an
interactive session in a console window.
\H{plink-starting} Starting Plink
Plink is a command line application. This means that you cannot just
double-click on its icon to run it and instead you have to bring up a
\i{console window}. With Windows 95, 98, and ME, this is called an
\q{MS-DOS Prompt} and with Windows NT and 2000 it is called a
\q{Command Prompt}. It should be available from the Programs section
of your Start Menu.
To start Plink it will need either to be on your \i{\c{PATH}} or in your
current directory. To add the directory containing Plink to your
\c{PATH} environment variable, type into the console window:
\c set PATH C:\path\to\putty\directory;%PATH%
This will only work for the lifetime of that particular console
window. To set your \c{PATH} more permanently on Windows NT, use the
Environment tab of the System Control Panel. On Windows 95, 98, and
ME, you will need to edit your \c{AUTOEXEC.BAT} to include a \c{set}
command like the one above.
\H{plink-usage} Plink Usage
Once you've got a console window to type into, you can just type
\c{plink} on its own to bring up a usage message. This tells you the
version of Plink you're using, and gives you a brief summary of how to
use Plink:
\c Z:\sysosd>plink
\c PuTTY Link: command-line connection utility
\c Release 0.50
\c Usage: plink [options] [user@]host [command]
\c Options:
\c -v show verbose messages
\c -ssh force use of ssh protocol
\c -P port connect to specified port
\c -pw passw login with specified password
\S{plink-usage-basics} The basics
\S{plink-usage-options} Options
These are the command line options that Plink accepts.
\S2{plink-usage-options-v}\c{-v} show verbose messages
By default, Plink only displays any password prompts and the output of
the remote command. The \c{-v} option makes it print extra
information about the connection being made, for example:
\c Server version: SSH-1.5-OpenSSH-1.2.3
\c We claim version: SSH-1.5-PuTTY
\c Using SSH protocol version 1
\c Received public keys
\c Host key fingerprint is:
\c 1023 e3:65:44:44:bd:b1:04:59:bc:e2:3d:a1:4d:09:ce:99
\c Encrypted session key
\c Using 3DES encryption
\c Trying to enable encryption...
\c Successfully started encryption
\c Sent username "fred".
\c Sent username "fred"
\c fred@example.com's password:
This information can be useful for diagnosing problems.
\S2{plink-usage-options-ssh}\c{-ssh} force use of ssh protocol
\S2{plink-usage-options-P}\c{-P port} connect to specified port
\S2{plink-usage-options-pw}\c{-pw passw} login with specified password
\H{plink-pubkey} Using public key authentication with Plink
\H{plink-batch} Using Plink in \i{batch files} and \i{scripts}
\H{plink-cvs} Using Plink with \i{CVS}
To use Plink with CVS, you need to set the environment variable
\c{CVS_RSH} to point to Plink:
\c set CVS_RSH=\path\to\plink.exe
You also need to arrange to be able to connect to a remote host
without a password. To do this, either:
\b Run PuTTY, and create a PuTTY saved session (see
\k{config-saving}) which specifies your private key file (see
\k{config-auth}). You will probably also want to specify a username
to log in as (see \k{config-username}). You should then be able to
run CVS as follows:
\c cvs -d :ext:user@sessionname:/path/to/repository co module
If you specified a username in your saved session, you can just say:
\c cvs -d :ext:sessionname:/path/to/repository co module
Alternatively, you can use Pageant if Pageant is running (see
\k{pageant}). To do this, you would:
\b Ensure Pageant is running, and has your private key stored in it.
\b Run CVS as follows:
\c cvs -d :ext:user@hostname:/path/to/repository co module
\H{plink-wincvs} Using Plink with \i{WinCVS}
Plink can also be used with WinCVS. Firstly, arrange for Plink to be
able to connect to a remote host without a password. \k{plink-cvs}
has instructions on this.
In WinCVS, bring up the \e{Preferences} dialogue box from the
\e{Admin} menu, and switch to the \e{Ports} tab. Tick the box there
labelled \e{Check for an alternate rsh name} and in the text entry
field to the right enter the full path to \c{plink.exe}. Select
\e{OK} on the \e{Preferences} dialogue box.
Next, select \e{Command Line} from the WinCVS \e{Admin} menu, and type
a CVS command as in \k{plink-cvs}, for example:
\c cvs -d :ext:user@hostname:/path/to/repository co module
Select the folder you want to check out to with the \e{Change Folder}
button, and click \e{OK} to check out your module. Once you've got
modules checked out, WinCVS will happily invoke plink from the GUI for
CVS operations.
