How to Transfer File to Raspberry Pi Using Batch Script

This article will show a Batch command that transfers files to the Raspberry Pi environment from Windows and executes the file.

PuTTY is a third-party free tool that has a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Windows and Unix platforms. It also features an xterm terminal emulator.

It also supports other networking protocols like SCP and some raw socket connections. It is also able to connect with a serial port.

This third-party software is mainly written for the Windows OS but is also ported to other operating systems.

This article will use a PSCP tool, a PuTTY secure copy client. This tool is mainly used for transferring between computers securely using an SSH connection.

There is another tool we will use named Plink, a command line interface to the back ends of the PuTTY. It can be used for SSH Tunneling.

It is also a tool similar to the UNIX ssh and is mostly used for automating operations.
