There's no binaries available from openssh.com that run on Windows,
however assuming you either have the Cygwin binaries or have compiled
OpenSSH using Cygwin, any mapped drives are available under
/cygdrive/$driveletter, assuming you're trying to run a script that is
Cygwin aware.

If it's vanilla Windows batch file then I dunno.  The fact that Cygwin
works as well as it does is amazing given the differences between
Windows and POSIX environments, but OpenSSH targets a POSIX-like
environment and I don't know how well it would be able to support a
Windows batch file invoked via an ssh command.

Perhaps if you provided a bit more information about what you're
trying to do we might be able to provide some better advice.
Alternatively, you could try it and let us know how it goes.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
