PuTTY is a client program running on Windows for the SSH, Telnet and
Rlogin network protocols. Plink is a command-line interface to the
PuTTY back ends (comparable to ssh executable, I think).

plink runs in a Dos box (on my client) and should execute the command
"ls -l" on host.some.where (the Debian server).

It's like executing

ssh auser@host.some.where ls -l

on a linux box.
