Hi Glenn,
we are using Putty this way - and it works fine: The Windows task scheduler calls abatch file. The lines are ar like this example:
"C:\Program Files\Putty\plink.exe" -ssh -2 -i C:\netapp.ppk admin@filername command_to_filer
It says as much as use SSH2 with the private key named C:\netapp.ppk and send the command_to_filer
Do not generate the public private key pair with Putty itself, use a linux system instead. Then use Putty to convert the private key with no passphrase for the private key to the ppk. Keep the private key secret of course!

Hi all,
There's a VBS script in TR3428 that works with VCenter/VCB to do the hot snaps on quiesced VM machines/netapp volumes.
I see that it calls the ssh command (as there is no rsh in VI3 I think).
Question is, for the windows side, what's the best way to get an ssh client going? I don't think that plink works with this script, although I'm sure I could modify it to do so, but I'd rather use the ssh client that was meant to be used with the script.
Is it openSSH?
Glenn @ Voyant
