I can call Remote Command by local file from console(-m option) in putty.
Is it possible to do the same from Putty GUI(Connection->SSH->Remote command, or elsewhere)?
So, to put it more clearly, the question is can we set a file as the source of the remote command in the gui.
Not directly, no - it explicitly takes only a string. Possibly one of the various putty forks has it added (although I can confirm kitty does not).
The only way I can think of to do it is to wrap putty in a script which reads the content of the file (whatever it is) and puts that value into the windows registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SimonTatham/PuTTY/Sessions/NAMEOFSESSION/RemoteCommand before executing putty.

I try to open a remote ssh file within emacs whose server runs an old ksh version which have gave me some headaches in the past. Additionaly, its .profile file is interactive so it requires some user interaction, but that can be solved later. So far I have the usual:
tramp file pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal
To do bash scripting I solve this problem by applying the -tt flag to ssh, to force interactive session, although I don't know if in this case that's what I need.
How could I personalize the flags used by C-x C-f' ssh connection, or solve that error message in particular?
Add an entry with proper flags in ~/.ssh/config, and use the nickname of that entry as host in your Tramp file name.
Scenario:
I'm using ssh to connect to a remote machine. I use the command line and run ssh <pathname>, which connects me to the machine at . I want to edit and run code on that remote machine. So far the only way I know is to create, edit, and run the files in the command window in vi, because my only connection to that machine is that command window.
My Question is:
I'd love to be able to edit my code in VSCode on my own machine, and then use the command line to save that file to the remote machine. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'm using OS X and ssh'ing into a Linux Fedora machine.
Thanks!
Sounds like you're looking for a command like scp. SCP stands for secure copy protocol, and it builds on top of SSH to copy files from one machine to another. So to upload your code to your server, all you'd have to do is do
scp path/to/source.file username#host:path/to/destination.file
EDIT: As #Pam Stums mentioned in a comment below the question, rsync is also a valid solution, and is definitely less tedious if you would like to automatically sync client and server directories.
You could export the directory on the remote machine using nfs or samba and mount it as a share on your local machine and then edit the files locally.
If you're happy using vim, check out netrw (it comes with most vim distributions; :help netrw for details) to let you use macvim locally to edit the remote files.
We're deploying our application using SSH scripts. For the production stage we need to figure out which out of two clusters is currently active. This can only be achieved reliably by running a command on a remote host and interpreting its output. Unfortunately there's no SSH plugin that does that AFAIK.
They only seem to be able to interpret if the SSH script return value was different from zero.
Currently I only see two undesirable solutions:
use SSH in a script like Python, Groovy, etc. (means, we would have to provide SSH authentication to it somehow)
Let the SSH-command write to a file, that is then copied to Jenkins and interpreted there (unelegant and cumbersome)
Ok based on what you mentioned in the comment, I think you can try something like given in here and then copy back that file to jenkins using ftp and then read the file contents.
Or you can have the whole process orchestrated in an Ant script by using SSHExec task and get the output in Ant
I set up an OpenShift application and set up my local PuTTY to connect to the server via SSH. Everything works fine, but I don't know how to run a few commands (mainly alias) after I connected to the server automatically (I don't want to copy&paste the same commands everytime I connect).
On my local linux shell I can use .bashrc, but this doesn't seem to work on OpenShift. I can't write a file in my home directory (/var/lib/openshift/[some letters and numbers]/) and I don't know the right place to put this file. Does anybody know where I have to put a file which will be run everytime I login?
I'd prefer a solution which doesn't involve my local SSH software as I'm connecting to this OpenShift application from different machines.
You can use your .bash_profile located in your $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR.
This has to be done in .bashrc or .profile or .bash_profile files. As you say they don't work then you can have a script in a file, scp that file to the remote server and then run when you ssh in a single command.
I have not used openshift but have used aws ec2 instances alot with ruby scripts,
ssh ubuntu#ec2-address ruby basic-auto.rb
The above command excutes the ruby file after the ssh. You can have a script in any language or may be a bash file(.sh) which executes after ssh.
I'm using WinSCP to interact with a remote server that supports only SFTP and doesn't allow SSH access.
My interaction involves moving/deleting a subset of files (identified by file names) in a certain directory.
To simplify this, I would typically synchronize [ Remote -> Local ], delete the files locally using the cygwin commandline (so that I can specify a list of file names instead of selecting files in the GUI) and then synchronize [ Local -> Remote ] to push the deletes to remote.
But, now, I want to further simplify the process so I can hand this over to an operations person. I went looking and was delighted to find that WinSCP supports 'commands'.
It would be great if I could enter something like this in the 'Command' field at the bottom in the 'Commander' view of WinSCP:
get queue-queue-from-DLQ-ID-69703273-db51-11e1-ba9f-005056010165 \
queue-queue-from-DLQ-ID-3d64697a-db51-11e1-b86e-005056010166 \
queue-queue-from-DLQ-ID-76fdb365-db50-11e1-b78d-005056010164 \
queue-queue-from-DLQ-ID-76ed3836-db50-11e1-ba9f-005056010165
But when I enter this in the 'Command' field, I get the following error:
Current SFTP-3 session does not support command you request. Separate shell session may be opened to process the command. Do you want to open separate shell session?
When I hit ok, I get the following error:
Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended).
The latter one is probably due to the fact that SSH is not supported.
But my question is, since get is an SFTP command, why am I getting the first error? Doesn't WinSCP itself use that command under the covers to support a GUI 'copy to local' operation?
How can I configure either WinSCP or the Linux box so that I can do what I have shown above?
I guess this answers my question: http://winscp.net/eng/docs/remote_command
Apparently, the 'Command' feature is only supported for SCP.
I wonder why WinSCP can't expose a commandline interface for SFTP operations that are generally supported during an sftp interactive session.
You can use WinSCP command-line scripting interface to run the get command.
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting
The 'Commands' feature (remote commands execution) is supported even for SFTP protocol. But this feature executes the command on remote server. You cannot use this feature to automate WinSCP. And there's no remote command that you can easily use to download file.
