You might want to use plink (which is shipped with putty) instead of putty for this.

Quote from the documentation:

Plink is a command-line connection tool similar to UNIX `ssh'. It is
mostly used for automated operations, such as making CVS access a
repository on a remote server.

For your example:

plink -ssh user@host -pw password echo "hi"

Per the putty manual, there is only -m which can be used to give it a file containing one or more commands to be executed in sequence.

  -m does not execute a script. It reads a list of commands to execute remotely from a local file. This might be equivalent with simple scripts that only execute command after command, but when you add loops or operations on the output of commands this will stop working. Quote from the documention: With some servers [...] you can even put multiple lines in this file and execute more than one command in sequence, or a whole shell script; but this is arguably an abuse, and cannot be expected to work on all servers.

As @GeraldSchneider suggests, PLINK is more suitable, but if you really wanted to use PuTTY this is how you could do it:

First, you need to set a few things up as follows:

1. Connect to the remote box via PuTTY, as in your example.


2. While on the remote box, create a script to echo "hi". Name it hello.sh.


3. Right-click the PuTTY window caption and select 'Change Settings...".


4. Type the name my-saved-session and click Save then Cancel.


5. Exit the session. Open the PuTTY Configuration panel again.


6. Select your saved my-saved-session session and click Load.


7. On the left of the 'Category' tree view, click 'SSH'.


8. In the 'Remote command' box type /hello.sh -o.


9. Click back on 'Session' and click Save.

Now you're good to run the command:

putty -ssh user@host -pw password -load my-saved-session
