One-shot ssh commands without terminal

Old topic from the old forums: One-shot commands.

Since there isn't support for on-demand "df"/"quota" queries in the SFTP protocol, it would be nice if we could add custom commands for the right-click menu (Explorer per-drive? System tray?) for specific drives. For instance, it would be nice to be able to do a no-tty ssh to the host and run a canned user-configurable command like "quota -ug" to check on quota or "df -P" to see filesystem usage, printing the output to a Win32 simple console window.

This would be nice to have bundled rather than having to fire up PuTTY, and some providers (eg rsync.net) don't allow terminal logins anyway, only one-shot commands.
 
happy I’m thankful
