When i try this command in my windows cmd

putty.exe -ssh user1@244.60.212.17 -pw spenter11

It opens the Putty GUI when I want it to login from my windows cmd prompt itself.

Any help how can I achieve this ?

You are not using the right application, the one you want to use instead is plink. putty itself is the terminal window (something like the GUI around plink)

plink.exe user1@server -pw password

I wish to use ssh. therefore plink may not help. Will it ? – saif kamal Oct 11 '12 at 7:40
plink implements the ssh-client-protocol. i do not understand your statement. – akira Oct 11 '12 at 10:39
