I need to execute ssh from windows command line by providing password in a non interactive manner. I could implement the key based authentication and able to execute the ssh commands just like
ssh <user>@<host> <command> Is there any commands like
ssh <user>@<host> -P <password> <command> 
I don't know if it is feasible. However, there can be some work around for the same. Throw me some ideas to accomplish the same.

To log in with a password, you'd have to start by reconfiguring the remote server to accept password authentication. Show activity on this post. Turns out the solution was to set PasswordAuthentication yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config .
You can start an SSH session in your command prompt by executing ssh user@machine and you will be prompted to enter your password. You can create a Windows Terminal profile that does this on startup by adding the commandline setting to a profile in your settings.
The sshpass utility is meant for exactly this. First, install sshpass by typing this command:
sudo apt-get install sshpass Then prepend your ssh/scp command with
sshpass -p '<password>' <ssh/scp command> This program is easiest to install when using Linux.
User should consider using SSH's more secure public key authentication (with the ssh command) instead.
