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.
