You should at very least be able to save PuTTY's settings under some
name. Once you've done that, check PuTTY's docs for a way to invoke it
with particular saved settings. I'm pretty sure there's a way to do
that. The program can then invoke that as a background process, then
go on to do whatever you need.

Be aware, though, that you'll need to set up passwordless access (with
a keypair) if you're to fully automate the process. But you may have
already done that.
