Versions:
sshpass-win32 is a lightweight Windows port of the Unix utility sshpass, created by developer xhcoding to supply SSH passwords in a fully non-interactive way. Published under the same name as its Linux ancestor, the program accepts the authentication secret through command-line arguments, an environment variable, or a protected text file, then pipes it directly to the underlying OpenSSH or Plink executable without exposing an interactive prompt. This behavior makes it particularly useful in unattended scripts that must open secure shell tunnels, copy files over SCP, or invoke remote commands on dozens or hundreds of machines during overnight batch jobs, CI pipelines, or infrastructure-provisioning playbooks. System administrators who migrate Linux maintenance scripts to Windows therefore rely on sshpass-win32 to preserve the automatic login sequence instead of rewriting every task around key-based authentication or expect-style wrappers. Version 1.0.7, the second public release offered on the project page, ships as a single 32-bit executable that depends only on the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime, so it can be dropped into system PATH on anything from Windows 7 to current server editions without further setup. Both released versions share the same feature parity with the upstream 1.0.x branch, differing mainly in compiler optimizations and minor bug fixes. The tool is categorized as a Network / SSH Utility and remains the simplest way to embed plaintext password authentication inside legacy automation that has not yet moved to certificate or Kerberos trust. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
