Thanks everyone for the info. Unfortunately, the OpenSSH is the parameter I
was given until I can prove it is not the best way and the only way to prove
it is to have a working example that is a pain to support. :)
This Hello World was the part that I was really stuck on. The below RPG is
great and will get me where I need to go. And as a bonus, since I finally
got on a 7.3 machine, it also gives me some **free stuff to play with
without searching for syntax.

As others have pointed out, there are probably easier ways to do this.
From linux, but I don't know why this wouldn't work from windows.
kevin@MN207-U17:~$ ssh -T kevin@172.24.1.20 'system "CALL KEVIN/TESTSTDOUT"'
Hello World
TESTSTDOUT looks like this.
**Free
Ctl-opt Dftactgrp(*NO) Actgrp('CGI') BndDir('KEVIN/CGIBND');
// Needs QTCP/QTMHCGI added during compile. I put it in the CGIBND
binding directory.
Dcl-Pr WriteStdOut Extproc('QtmhWrStout');
*N Char(2048) Const Options(*VarSize); // Buffer
*N Int(10) Const; // Buffer Length
*N LikeDs(Qusec) Options(*VarSize); // Error
End-Pr;
Dcl-S Buffer VarChar(2048);
Dcl-C LineFeed Const(x'0D25');
Dcl-Ds Qusec;
BytesProvided Int(10) Inz(%Size(Qusec));
ByteAvailable Int(10);
ErrorId Char(7);
Filler Char(1);
MessageData Char(500);
End-Ds;
Buffer = 'Hello World' + LineFeed;
WriteStdOut(Buffer:%Len(Buffer):Qusec);
Return;
CGIBND just has one entry.

Subject: Calling a program on the i via OpenSSH
I have no clue what I am really talking about here so please bear with me.
My end goal for this request is for a Windows server to connect to an IBM I
and issue the command and receive the results without any user intervention
via a "windows script".
I already have OpenSSH running on the i and I can log in with PuTTY.
Now my request.
Can anyone provide a sample program (or point me to one), preferably written
in RPGLE that can be run on the iSeries from a Windows 10 PuTTY session and
have it return data back to the PuTTY session? I would be OK if it just
returned "Hello World". In the real world, I will need to generate data and
return it to the caller but Hello World would get me started.
Just in case my request is not clear (because I don't know 100% what I am
asking for), here are the steps I think I need.
1.Start PuTTY on a Windows 10 machine
2.Connect to my IBM i
3.CALL HELLOWORLD on the IBM I <-- if you can provide the correct syntax
too, that would be great 4.See "Hello World" in my PuTTY window.
