Powershell Script: SSH into Server
I was about to suggest that you use PuTTY. in fact, you should be using plink
If you look at SSH (the command for Linux), you can execute remote commands in this fashion:
Single command:
ssh $HOST ls
Several commands:
ssh $HOST ls; pwd; cat /path/to/remote/file
If you want to do this on a windows machine, you either need to use plink.exe or a similar tool.
Apparently there is also some library for powershell to execute remote commands via ssh, but this is the result of me spending 30 seconds to google remote command ssh powershell
so I do not know if it will work for you, or if it requires powershell on the remotet (you can get it for linux)
There are many articles all over the web on this topic, and since PowerShell Core is now Open Source and can be installed on Windows / Linux / OSX the SSH for PowerShell has been an thing for a while now.
Example(s):
Using SSH to Access Linux Servers in PowerShell
Managing Windows Powershell from Linux terminal
There a several module on the MS PowerShellGallery specifically for this use case.
