Executing file on windows from linux server
To execute a file on a Windows machine from a Linux server, you can use the ssh
command along with a remote command execution. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
Make sure you have SSH access to the Windows machine from the Linux server. Ensure that the Windows machine has an SSH server installed and configured to accept incoming SSH connections.
Open a terminal on your Linux server and use the
ssh
command to execute a command remotely on the Windows machine. The command will typically be in the following format:bashssh <username>@<windows-machine-ip> "<command>"
- Replace
<username>
with your username on the Windows machine. - Replace
<windows-machine-ip>
with the IP address or hostname of the Windows machine. - Replace
<command>
with the command you want to execute on the Windows machine. This can be the path to an executable file or a specific command you want to run.
For example, if you want to execute a batch file named
script.bat
located in theC:\Scripts
directory on the Windows machine, the command would look like this:bashssh username@windows-machine-ip "C:\Scripts\script.bat"
Note that you may need to provide appropriate authentication credentials (password or private key) when prompted by the SSH command.

Execute the
ssh
command to run the desired command on the Windows machine. The command will be executed remotely, and you should see the output in your Linux server's terminal.
By using SSH and remote command execution, you can execute a file on a Windows machine from a Linux server. Ensure that you have proper network connectivity, SSH server and client software installed, and the necessary authentication credentials to establish the SSH connection.
