    I have not found a way to set a remote users path to even FIND cmd.exe

    If I log into the Windows system normall via ssh, I have everything in
    my path; if I run a command remotly, i.e.

    ssh <server> "command"

    any command I run is said to be "not found"

    Any idea how to set up the path in a Windows system? I tried putting
    something in .profile but to no avail...
