plink asking for login credentials when already argumented?

Question

plink 12.34.567.89 -ssh -pw <hidden pass> -l <hidden username> svn update ~/public_html

The ip addresss above is hidden/modified

When I execute this, it asks: "login as: _"

But I already supplied my login credentials in the plink command.

I know my credentials are correct, I tested them with putty

Thanks, Jonah

It's working fine in my machine. I don't have an immediate answer for you. You can do more testing. 1) Try it on some other machines and see if you see the same things. 2) What is the Putty version you are using? 3) It may be because you have a PuTTY session named as "12.34.567.89". Plink will pull the session information. One of the settings may force it to prompt you to do login. — Harvey Kwok, Commented Dec 24, 2010 at 6:46

I think that you need to specify your arguments before the IP address:

plink -ssh -pw <hidden pass> -l <hidden username> 12.34.567.89 svn update ~/public_html
