Execute command on LINUX via PUTTY from Windows

Question

I want to open a putty session (SSH) from command line and immediately execute on the remote machine a specific command.

Something like:

putty.exe -ssh user@host -pw pass123 < "cd /some/directory; ll"

But this doesn't work. Is it possible?

YES :D (i need to write more characters to add this comment. Done). — Mr.Eddart, Jan 16 '20 at 07:40
FYI, recent versions of Windows 10 have a native OpenSSH client that can be installed, and would probably be easier to work with. — Zoredache, Jan 16 '20 at 08:38

Putty also provides plink.

Usage example:

plink -ssh user@host -pw password echo "hi"

Also I suggest you to use SSH-KEY instead of password. It makes your work easier and safer. Look at Pageant and Putty Key Generator. More information about keys: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/add-ssh-keys/create-with-putty/
