My OS is Windows 10 (x64) and I installed both Powershell 7 and cygwin.
Then, I installed "sshpass" using cygwin.
And, here are the cases I am experiencing right now.
From cmd, if I enter "C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe -", cygwin pops up with initial directory "~". Then, if I type "sshpass -p<password> ssh <username>#<host>", it perfectly works smoothly!
From cmd, if I enter "C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe", cygwin pops up with directory "/cygdrive/c/Users/myname". Then, if I type "sshpass -p<password> ssh <username>#<host>", it asks me to type the password. This means that sshpass is not working correctly here.
From powershell, if I type "C:\cygwin64\bin\sshpass.exe -p<password> C:\cygwin64\bin\ssh <username>#<host>", nothing happens.
My questions are the following:
How do I properly run sshpass command in Powershell?
Let's say my ip address is 1.1.1.1 and I am connecting to a server whose ip is 2.2.2.2, and both computers OS systems are Windows. When I connect to the server through ssh, it shows the "cmd" terminal of the server. How can I change it to show "cygwin" terminal when I connect to the server?
I am having very hard time fixing this out.. Thank you very much in advance..
I am not sure i am getting this, anyway, if i understand correctly you have a hard time launching sshpass from powershell.
Try using Start-Process commandlet: (maybe add the full path to ssh in arguments (?))
start-process -filepath C:\cygwin64\bin\sshpass.exe -ArgumentList '-p<password> ssh <username>#<host>' -Wait -NoNewWindow
Anyway instead of reaching linux commands to windows and run it from powershell, why don't you check powershell modules?
ssh using powerShell script by passing the password along with the Commnad
Also, Powershell Remoting towards linux is a thing nowadays, and it runs over ssh (not bash afaik)

I was settings up SSH connection so that I can just click the icon then it would connect me to another remote server. I have 2 very similar scripts but one of them doesn't work somehow.
The one that works well:
&"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" -pw "lrIWWI6bB37kxfiCQZqUdOIYfr6eEeqR" -P 2220 "bandit5#bandit.labs.overthewire.org"
The one that the Powershell just pop up and disappear without opening Putty (I ran the code in Powershell ISE, it worked perfectly.):
&"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" -pw "brucetest24534789" "bruce#192.168.103.229"
Is there anyone who knows the reason? I'm thinking if it's a bug with Powershell.
Thank you for all your time,
I have local Windows 10 and remote Ubuntu server.
I want to automate connection to server and write executable script witch connects by ssh to server and open new terminal from another server.
What it's supposed to look like
I double click on bat
And then script
inits ssh connect
writes password
gives the user a terminal with a ready ssh connection.
That is, it mimics the following
Problems
How to wait ssh password request? All commands executes immediately.
(additional) can I write it in .sh script, run script, execute all in "start" terminal (from which I run .sh script) and then pass ssh control to invoked terminal?
It's best if someone writes a ready-made script
Automatically enter SSH password with script
Answers:
Direct answer - use expects. But sshpass is better. Also RSA-key can be used.
Can`t tell anything.
Can be done without any 3rd party tools like this:
$env:TMPPW=Get-Content -Path 'secure_file.txt' ; $un='MyUserName'
$j=Start-Job -ScriptBlock{Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
(New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell).SendKeys("$env:TMPPW{ENTER}")}
& ssh.exe -q -4 -l $un 127.0.0.1 'whoami'
$env:TMPPW=([guid]::NewGuid()).Guid ; $env:TMPPW=$null
I have ssh on to a ubuntu box and run the following:
rabbitmq-server –detached
Which I believe should give me the command prompt back and run rabbit in the background, howerver it justs hangs:
Is this a powershell issue?
PowerShell is a component of Microsoft Windows, it has a command-line shell and a scripting environment. So I don't think you question is relative to PowerShell.
i have installed fresshd in one of my windows server.now i am connect to the system through putty. It is working fine.
my issue us when i am running from command line
PuTTY.lnk -ssh -2 -P 22 username#XXX -pw pswd -m command.txt
commands given in the command.txt files are not executed it just open the putty console and it is closing.
when Running from Jenkins also same issue.
I am not sure if you are connecting to Windows from a Linux machine, or to Linux from a Windows machine. Or Windows to Windows?
PuTTY.lnk is not an executable. If you try to run that, it should produce an error 'PuTTY.lnk' is not recognized as an internal or external command. I am assuming you are running the command from a Windows machine, since you are referring to windows shortcut file (.lnk)
You need to use PuTTY.exe + the rest of your command line. Please note that unless it is in your $PATH settings, you would have to provide a full path to the .exe, for example C:\LocationOfPuttyInstall\putty.exe -ssh -2 -P 22 username#XXX -pw pswd -m command.txt. For the sake of preventing any other problem, you should also specify a correct full path to the command.txt file.
If you are not sure where your Putty is installed, on the Windows machine, do the following:
Right click your PuTTY shortcut (the PuTTY.lnk file)
Look under "Target"
That would list your full path to PuTTY.exe executable.
This should resolve your problem.
p.s.
Usually Putty is used to connect from a Windows machine to a Linux machine. From your question, it almost looks like you are trying to connect from a Windows machine to another Windows machine.
You should use PsExec windows tool for such purposes:

I am trying to create a word document on a remote windows machine. What I am trying is to telnet to the remote windows machine and run a perl script that creates word document through Win32::OLE. But it doesn't seem to work. Is this possible? Because my script has {visible} set to 1 but will that telnet session have access to instances of word application? Atleast I tried it didn't work.
Telnet may not be the best tool to accomplish this, I'm not sure what kind of permissions it has. I recommend using PsExec, which allows remote command execution on windows servers. If it works locally, it will work using PsExec.
For example:
PsExec.exe \\remotecomputer -u userName -p Password Perl C:\path\to\file\file.pl
You can use the -s flag to run as system account, and the -i flag to run it interactively on the desktop. Without the -i flag, it will run in the console session.
