scripts/win-exec.sh "powershell -Command 'Get-Process | Select-Object -First 10'"

Execute Script

scripts/win-exec.sh "python C:\\path\\to\\script.py"

Script Reference

win-exec.sh

Execute a single command on the remote Windows machine.

scripts/win-exec.sh "<command>"

win-gpu.sh

Quick GPU status check (nvidia-smi wrapper).

scripts/win-gpu.sh
scripts/win-gpu.sh --query  # Compact output

win-upload.sh

Upload files to the remote machine via SCP.

scripts/win-upload.sh <local-file> <remote-path>

Run Python with GPU

scripts/win-exec.sh "python -c \"import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())\""

Check Disk Space

scripts/win-exec.sh "wmic logicaldisk get size,freespace,caption"

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Connection refused	Check SSH service: `Get-Service sshd`
Permission denied	Verify SSH key in `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` or `administrators_authorized_keys`
Timeout	Check firewall rules, verify IP/port
Command not found	Use full path or check PATH on Windows

Security Notes

Use SSH keys instead of passwords
Keep private keys secure (chmod 600)
