Description

PuTTY Link (Plink) is a command-line connection tool for Windows that is used for connecting to a remote computer using the Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH) network protocols. It is part of the PuTTY suite of tools, which also includes the PuTTY terminal emulator and the PuTTY Configuration Utility. Plink is commonly used to automate routine tasks, such as executing shell commands on a remote server, forwarding TCP/IP ports, and setting up secure tunnels for other applications to use. Plink is often used in conjunction with other tools, such as batch files, scripts, and automation frameworks, to simplify complex network-related tasks.
