Execute ssh with password authentication via windows command prompt

I need to execute ssh from windows command line by providing password in a non interactive manner. I could implement the key based authentication and able to execute the ssh commands just like

ssh <user>@<host> <command>

Is there any commands like

ssh <user>@<host> -P <password> <command>

I don't know if it is feasible. However, there can be some work around for the same. Throw me some ideas to accomplish the same.

The sshpass utility is meant for exactly this. First, install sshpass by typing this command:

sudo apt-get install sshpass

Then prepend your ssh/scp command with

sshpass -p '<password>' <ssh/scp command>

This program is easiest to install when using Linux.

User should consider using SSH's more secure public key authentication (with the ssh command) instead.

What about this expect script?

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn ssh root@myhost
expect -exact "root@myhost's password: "
send -- "mypassword\r"
interact

PuTTY's plink has a command-line argument for a password. Some other suggestions have been made in the answers to this question: using Expect (which is available for Windows), or writing a launcher in Python with Paramiko.

Windows Solution

1. Install PuTTY
2. Press Windows-Key + R
3. Enter putty.exe -ssh [username]@[hostname] -pw [password]

PowerShell solution

Using Posh-SSH:

New-SSHSession -ComputerName 0.0.0.0 -Credential $cred | Out-Null
Invoke-SSHCommand -SessionId 1 -Command "nohup sleep 5 >> abs.log &" | Out-Null

This post is a valid solution for your issue.

1. Install PuTTY on your Windows Machine
2. Execute 'plink your_username@yourhost -pw your_password'

If you use the Windows Terminal and you want your shell to log into a remote machine when opening a new tab, you may configure the command line params (Settings -> Shell -> Command line):

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.PowerShell.ID\pwsh.exe
-Command "plink [email protected] -pw PASSWORD"
