Platforms count differently and update at different times.
The guide configures a host, username, and optional SSH port or key, with examples for PowerShell, service management, and file transfer. These operations are powerful, and default SSH/SCP options disable strict host-key checking. Use only hosts you administer, with a restricted account and dedicated key, and confirm each command, file path, and host identity.

# Windows Remote Control
Execute commands on remote Windows machines via SSH.
## Configuration
Set environment variables in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` under `skills.windows-remote.env`:
```json
{
"skills": {
"windows-remote": {
"env": {
"WINDOWS_SSH_HOST": "192.168.1.100",
"WINDOWS_SSH_PORT": "22",
"WINDOWS_SSH_USER": "Administrator"
}
}
}
}
```
Or export directly:
```bash
export WINDOWS_SSH_HOST="192.168.1.100"
export WINDOWS_SSH_PORT="22"
export WINDOWS_SSH_USER="Administrator"
```
## Quick Commands
### Check Connection
```bash
scripts/win-exec.sh "echo connected"
```
### GPU Status
```bash
scripts/win-exec.sh "nvidia-smi"
```
### Run PowerShell
```bash
scripts/win-exec.sh "powershell -Command 'Get-Process | Select-Object -First 10'"
```
### Execute Script
```bash
scripts/win-exec.sh "python C:\\path\\to\\script.py"
```
## Script Reference
### win-exec.sh
Execute a single command on the remote Windows machine.
```bash
scripts/win-exec.sh "<command>"
```
### win-gpu.sh
Quick GPU status check (nvidia-smi wrapper).
```bash
scripts/win-gpu.sh
scripts/win-gpu.sh --query # Compact output
```
### win-upload.sh
Upload files to the remote machine via SCP.
```bash
scripts/win-upload.sh <local-file> <remote-path>
```
### win-download.sh
Download files from the remote machine.
```bash
scripts/win-download.sh <remote-path> <local-file>
```
## Common Tasks
### Check if Ollama is Running
```bash
scripts/win-exec.sh "tasklist | findstr ollama"
```
### Start a Service
```bash
scripts/win-exec.sh "net start <service-name>"
```
### Run Python with GPU
```bash
scripts/win-exec.sh "python -c \"import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())\""
```
### Check Disk Space
```bash
scripts/win-exec.sh "wmic logicaldisk get size,freespace,caption"
```
## Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Connection refused | Check SSH service: `Get-Service sshd` |
| Permission denied | Verify SSH key in `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` or `administrators_authorized_keys` |
| Timeout | Check firewall rules, verify IP/port |
| Command not found | Use full path or check PATH on Windows |
