tail -f over network with Putty

Question

I want to see log files on a remote Linux machine on my network without having to manually ssh, cd to directory and tail -f the log file. I am using Windows and need to do this with Putty. Is there a script command that i can use to do this?

Answer 1

You can use putty's "Remote command" field in Connection ==> SSH section of configuration. If you save all with public key authentication in a specifi session profile, you'll have your tail starting when launching this profile.
