Hi All,
I am baffled :)
If I open a command prompt, change to the directory which contains plink.exe and run the command:

plink -pw password command

The command works no problem, but if I do following in a TProcess I get a "flash" of a black window, then nothing!

  Process := TProcess.Create(nil);
  try
    sPSFTPFile := IncludeTrailingBackslash(ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0))) +
'plink.exe';
    Process.Executable := sPSFTPFile;
    S := '-pw ' + Password + ' ' + Username + '@' + IPAddress + ' ' +
Command;
    Process.Parameters.Add(S);
    Process.Options := Process.Options + [poWaitOnExit];
    Process.Execute;
  finally
    Process.Free;
  end;

Any ideas?

Obviously this is wrong.

It should be:

With process.Parameters do
   begin
   Add('-pw');
   Add(Password);
   Add(Username+'@'+IPAddress);
   Add(Command);
   end;

Your example is specified as wrong almost verbatim in the documentation:

You need to split the parameters. Parameters are the equivalent of paramstr() or argv on the receiving end. So something like:

Process.Parameters.Add('-pw');
Process.Parameters.Add(Password);
Process.Parameters.Add(Username + '@' + IPAddress);
Process.Parameters.Add('<mailto:>');
Process.Parameters.Add(Command);

Michael and Ludo,
You were both spot on, that's what it was.

Thanks guys.

Rich
