Manage Linux servers with PowerShell

Use Transferetto to run commands, open shells, capture transcripts, and expose services over SSH.

Transferetto is not only for file movement. Its SSH lane lets a PowerShell script inspect and operate a Linux host directly, which is useful for deployment, log review, service checks, and light operational automation.

Typical management tasks

run a few one-shot commands over SSH
open an interactive shell and wait for prompts explicitly
capture a transcript for later review
open a local tunnel to reach a private service

Send commands over SSH

Import-Module Transferetto

$sshClient = Connect-SSH -Server 'server.example.com' -Credential (Get-Credential)

$command = {
    'cd /var/www/html'
    'ls -la'
    'systemctl status nginx --no-pager'
}

Send-SSHCommand -SshClient $sshClient -Command $command
Disconnect-SSH -SshClient $sshClient

When to use the shell lane instead

Use New-SSHShell and Invoke-SSHShellCommand when prompt awareness matters, the command sequence is interactive, or you want to keep a transcript of what happened during a longer session.
