Scripted Commands over SSH

[SirAdrian]

How can I set up a script or shortcut to run commands from a Windows XP machine on my CentOS machine over SSH?

I am running a virtual CentOS (VirtualBox) machine containing my LAMP stack. I also have other tools like subversion, git, etc. on there that I wish to use. On my windows machine, I want to set up quick scripts like 'commit' and send my path with args. I also want to use it for running command line PHP scripts on the remote server.

Any ideas?

I'd suggest starting with connecting from windows to linux via ssh (using putty for example). Then you can play around.

I already do that.

I'm trying to set up scripts I can quickly execute instead of having to go into putty, login, and type long commands.

Is there a way to have a script do it all in one shot?

then you can just write a windows batch file to call ssh (you will have to setup passwordless authentication using ssh - google how to do it), then call any scripts you want on your linux box.

Read about public keys in Chapter 8 of the Putty User Manual. The public key will be in SSH2 format so you'll have to convert it after you copy it to the Linux system. That's with ssh-keygen -i option. Looks at the manpage for ssh-keygen for details. It'll have to be appended to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
