Korn Shell to PowerShell
Are you using MKS Shell on Windows for your Korn shell scripts? If so then you can probably execute the MKS shell from inside of PowerShell and return values to PoSH. This would save a lot of trouble converting. It would allow you to use the old scripts while updating the system.

How can I access a remote ssh server from a windows machine?
You could use <a href=”http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html”>PuTTY</a> which is a small and easy-to-use tool that lets you connect to remote machines using SSH (among other protocols). Its configuration is very simple, basically you just need to define the remote host’s name (or ip address), the port , and the protocol.
