executing command on a Windows Machine from a UNIX/LINUX Machine

is it possible to execute a command (ex: launching a .bat file located on the remote machine) on a Windows Remote开发者_高级运维 Machine, using a UNIX or Linux Machine ?

Is there something like a scp/ssh mechanism or at least a way to connect to a Windows Machine passing through the network ?

Thanks for your help.

By default, recent Windows versions only support the Remote Desktop protocol. As far as I know, client versions only allow a single user, while server versions with installed Terminal Services allow for multiple simultaneous users.

Windows Server versions also support the Telnet protocol, but the server is disabled by default - it may not even be installed. Therefore you will have to enable it manually. Do you really want to use Telnet of all things, though? Just the security concerns are enough to make it mostly useless.

There is also a version of OpenSSH for Windows, that uses the Cygwin DLL. I have not tried it, but using an SSH implementation from the Unix world does have its appeal (and probably a few disadvantages). See also this.

EDIT:

Recent Windows versions also support the Windows Remote Management system, which allows you to launch an interactive session throuh a bit of trickery.

You may want to try Vandyke VShell.
