Plink Unable To Open Command File Issue

  • 4

Im having issues with plink.

the line of code is

plink -ssh -l root -pw pass 1.1.1.1 -m cmd.txt

that line of code in a batch should start plink and log in and open the command file and run the commands.

well all i get is Plink unable to open command file.

plink.exe along with cmd.txt are in the same dir as the batch is so the locations should be ok but i have tried exact paths with no go and same error.

any ideas how to solve this? Im running windows 7 pro 64bit

  1. Reasons why plink would be unable to open a command file:
    1) The name/path is incorrect.
    2) The file is locked. Presumably because it’s opened in some editor.
    3) The account running plink doesn’t have access to the command file.

    It’s really just a guessing game without further investigation. You could try a program like Process Monitor to check to see what file plink is attempting to open, and what the error Windows returns.
