Answer 1

It might be worth it to try it this way as I am not 100% sure if you can actually script a logging in, security implications otherwise, your password would be exposable...so I have not really done this before by using putty -m using the script in place.

putty host -l login_name -pw password -m my_script

my_script would contain

rmdir some_directory_name

The other way I can think of it is to use AutoIt, which is a BASIC like syntax and to automate the process of logging on, and feeding a rmdir directory_name, perhaps to make it more flexible, supply the host, user id, password and the directory name to the autoit script which, can by the way be compiled to a standalone program...

Hi

I used [SSHEXEC][1] to create and delete directory on remote unix machine.I just return shell script to create and delete directory and run that using sshexec.

Same thing we can do using FTP,But i dont have access to ftp so i used sshexec its working good.
