Windows 10 Native SSH client inside CMD is crazy nice, no more putty... given its a windows feature and all!

(Hidden in additional features if any one is interested, will need a reboot to work)

Waiting for Windows bashers to comment anytime now...

This is pretty neat. I'm guessing this is separate from the Ubuntu sub system?

Its the UoW thing right?

I'll be honest, the fake bash terminal isn't as good, as just having a linux boot - a windows user who has both.

(99% of my time i use linux for work... Windows is just not good at all for what i do.)

@kunashe it is seperate to the Ubuntu sub system, although I can’t seem to see anyway of having multi servers saved for quick access so I may hold onto putty for a while.

@D--M with all the issues of grub failing for dual boot, I only use Linux distros inside vms, mostly servers but a couple of DEs aswell.

The subsystem of Ubuntu is basically a minimal Ubuntu server with no root.
Kinda disappointing but it has some use when testing small scripts.

@C0D4

So for I've not had any issues with dual boot on windows with ubuntu 17.10, both on my home pc and on my windows work laptop.

It doesn't have anything to do with the subsystem. It's a native application by Microsoft.

@speedForce I too run bash on windows 😉

Does it support SSH keys?

@olback I think it's supposed to be just the openSSH client (and soon server) on windows.

So you should be able to use openSSH keys. I havn't tried yet though. I am one of those using subsystem or putty :P .

@olback apparently you can, haven't tried yet. Both the server and client can be installed.
I'm only playing with my RaspPI with it at the moment.

I don't have this update yet so I'm still waiting. Can it sshuttle? Because that's my only beef with WSL right now.

@Bitwise that’s true but it just becomes habit for what system your working with, I jump between windows and Linux so much I don’t notice them anymore.

Only took thirty years!

I'm not seeing an obvious way to install or enable this on my Windows 10 VM, so please indulge me for a question.

Does copy and paste work the same terrible way cmd does? If so, then how in the world would anybody use this over putty?

@notcool you could try Cygwin on win7

@bahua what’s so terrible about right clicking to paste? I mean you already had your hand on the mouse to copy something anyway.

@C0D4

Having to move your hand to the mouse for a simple operation on a command line is absolutely unacceptable.

@bahua I’ve done it for 20 years, I had to think how you paste it’s that automatic. You could also attempt to find the insert key if you wanted to keep it keyboard only but that’s usually half a keyboard away and seems worse then a simple right click.
