Open SSH configuration query

[Prashanth Maiya]

Thanks Darren.
Actullay we wanted to run a Windows batch file and then execute a shell script from same SSH command.
Windows batch file maps the network drives and later the shell script needs this mapped drives.

Thanks,
Prashanth

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.
