| - | If you want to use [[http://www.cygwin.com/|Cygwin/OpenSSH]], instead of PuTTY, you need to configure path to Cygwin/OpenSSH executable in [[ui_pref_integration_app|preferences]]. You also need you to specify pattern ''!U@!@'' in arguments to pass hostname and username((This section was inspired by [[http://blog.geekslikeshinythings.com/2013/08/winscp-and-cygwin.html|WinSCP and Cygwin]] article on Geeks Like Shiny Things blog.)): | + | Windows 10 includes Microsoft build of OpenSSH ([[https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH|Win32-OpenSSH]]) including the ''ssh.exe''. Win32-OpenSSH can also be manually [[guide_windows_openssh_server|installed to older versions of Windows]]. |
| - | <code> | + | If you want to use Win32-OpenSSH ''ssh'' client from, instead of PuTTY, you need to configure the following command [[ui_pref_integration_app|preferences]]: &winpath &win64 |

| + | |||
| + | ==== [[wt]] Win32-OpenSSH in Windows Terminal ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | For a better experience, you can execute the ''ssh'' in [[https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n0dx20hk701|Windows Terminal app]]: | ||
| + | <code custom-command-local> | ||
| + | wt.exe ssh.exe !U@!@ -p !# -t "cd !/ \; /bin/bash --login" | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note the escaped semicolon. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Adding ''-w 0'' parameter opens a new tab in existing Windows Terminal windows instead of new window. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== [[wsl]] WSL ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want to use OpenSSH ''ssh'' client in [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about|Windows Subsystem for Linux]],((Also known as "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows".)) instead of PuTTY, you need to configure the following command [[ui_pref_integration_app|preferences]]: &winpath &win64 | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code custom-command-local> | ||
| + | "%SystemRoot%\Sysnative\bash.exe" -c "ssh !U@!@ -p !#" | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Also, make sure that [[ui_pref_integration_app#other_options|//Remember session password and pass it to PuTTY//]] is turned off. Or use [[https://packages.debian.org/buster/sshpass|''sshpass'' package]] to allow passing the password on the command-line. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can also have the remote shell open in the same working directory as WinSCP, using a [[integration_putty#putty_startup_directory|similar trick as with PuTTY]]: | ||

| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | (assuming a Unix-like system and the ''bash'' shell) | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want to run the ''ssh'' in more advanced console window, you can use for example [[https://conemu.github.io/|ConEmu]]: &winpath &win32 &win64 | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code custom-command-local> | ||
