[Is Plink Compatible With Windows 7 For Ssh Tunneling?]

Via the FAQ's, If its 32 bit win7, then yes, if 64 bit, then you might have to run in compatibility mode, but I havent tried it myself yet.

You should just download it from the site and try it. What do you have to lose? You could have answered your own question if you just went to thr putty site and tried it:

Hello....unfortunately the 3 questions I posed are not discussed in the FAQ section a the Putty site. There is no mention of Windows 7...32bit or 64bit being compatible with Plink.

[Is Plink Compatible With Windows 7 For Ssh Tunneling?]

Hello everyone...glad to be here to learn!! I have search Google on the topic as well as the forums here, but was unable to find an answer. I have also watched all the Hak5 videos on SSH tunneling.

I am using Windows 7. I have downloaded "FreeSSHD" & "Plink(Putty)" for the tunnel. I have been successful in getting freesshd up and running...however...Plink can not be found when I type in the code in the command prompt to install it. I checked the Hash number and it is a good download.

I ran a compatibility check on it in windows and it said it is not compatible. Then, I searched around for drivers for plink in Windows 7 and could not find any. Could not find out if Plink is even compatible with Windows 7. My questions are:

1. Is Plink compatible with Windows 7?

2. Must I use Cygwin and if so, is there a different procedure to install it than Plink?

3. If the top two questions are no, is there any other free software to install to make ssh tunneling work?
