Does `-m` argument in `plink.exe` execute local or remote files?
I was trying to execute this remote file, but I keep getting error as "unable to open command file".
plink.exe user@1.2.3.4 -m //localfile/file.txt
Will setting argument as -m execute the file present in local or remote file system?

The file specified is local but commands from it are executed on the remote side. According to the manual:
-m path
Read remote command(s) from local filepath.
(Yes, this is Linux plink manual; it's very similar in Windows though).
Executing a remote script or any other executable is as straightforward as
plink.exe user@1.2.3.4 /path/to/executable

If I want to run a text file containing a set of linux commands , do I need to change the format to '.sh' to make it run in the terminal of the remote server, I tried , but it doesn't seem to run.

@senorelanza I think I have answered your original question. If you need help with file extension/format etc. then your should ask a new question. While doing this please be specific: (1) What is the content of the file? (2) What exact command do you use? (3) What is the output and/or error message?
