Unlike PuTTY which comes with a GUI that permits you to handle the communication, this app can be used with PowerShell or Command Line. Therefore, you could be sitting at one PC and giving commands for others thanks to these protocols via the standard client and server principle. The idea of PuTTY and Plink is to act as a terminal and facilitate the communications – meaning the responses and commands between two machines – over the network. SSH, Telnet and Rlogin are three ways of doing the same thing: logging in to a multi-user computer from another computer, over a network. In other words, the utility allows you to connect to a specified port and acts as a command for the PuTTY backends. Plink is a lightweight utility designed to provide you with a simple command line SSH, Telnet and Rlogin client.
