Executing a shell script (program) on remote UNIX server.

Hello, I saw one topic answered in the negative but I figured I'd give this a shot anyway. Does anyone know how to run a shell script (program) on a remote UNIX server? The SSH Windows XP version we use (Tectia) has the following sytanx for running remote scripts;
"ssh2 UserID@Machine /alps/system/ialps_remove.ksh"

Thanks!

Re: Executing a shell script (program) on remote UNIX server.

So do you want to execute the script with WinSCP, instead of with Tectia?
You can do it this way:
winscp.com /command "open UserID@Machine" "call /alps/system/ialps_remove.ksh"

Thank you very much, extremely helpful. I only had to tweak what you sent slightly in order to have passwordless execution (no prompts). In case it helps anyone else, here is my sample.

winscp.com /command "open username:pw@servername" "call /home/x104150/testscript.ksh" "exit"

Thanks again!!!

thank martin.

Is there anyway to use WinSCP site name to work with plink.
And also, i tried to use "winscp.com -filezilla <filezilla site>" it says site name does not exist.
1. From WinSCP proxy setings are not working, but with filezilla proxy is working.
2. We need to run batch file which is situated in Remote server, which you said I can use plink. While trying to configure SFTP windows in PuTTY not working.

Thanks and Regards,
lpathi

Is your question "How to configure proxy in Plink the same way you have it in FileZilla"?

We do not know what proxy settings you have configured in FileZilla. This is the first time you have mentioned proxy.

Hi Martin,
Sorry about the confusion, there are two tasks

1.
Since remote batch file is not working from WinSCP. As you mentioned about plink.
My Question about plink is "Can we access WinSCP site names from plink. If so syntax please.

2.
Another, accessing filezilla site name from WinSCP, in my previous post I mentioned the syntax I tried to achieve
a. Filezilla command line not working for us. ( filezilla has limited on CLI)
b. Filezila is working fine with Proxy with Site1. We tried to set up the same details on WinSCP not working.
getting connection timeout.

Thanks and Regards,
lpathi

You can import sites from FileZilla:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_import
But only (unreleased) WinSCP 5.10 imports proxy configuration too.
I can provide you a development build of WinSCP 5.10, if you contact me on my email address.
