The Run SSH Command activity opens an SSH connection to a remote server and runs shell commands on that server. Use the Run SSH Command activity to run backup applications or a batch script that runs a set of complex commands on a non-Windows computer. The Run SSH Command activity can run any command in a Secure Shell.

Run SSH Command activity is based on PuTTY beta .70. The implementation of SSH in "Run SSH Command" has certain limitations:

• The Run SSH Command activity does not work against all SSH-1 and SSH-2 servers. In general, this activity functions with most SSH servers, but it does not work for all SSH server implementations.

• You must download and use the PuTTy key generation tool to create keys for the Run SSH Command activity. The key generation tool is available at Download PuTTY - a free SSH and telnet client for Windows.
