OpenSSH a Windows Feature

OpenSSH

This is big! This is not just the OpenSSH client, this is the server, too! For years, you had to add work arounds to get OpenSSH Server installed. Most recently, the Windows Subsystem for Linux allowed a user to add support through BASH (which is cool in itself!), and before that through Cygwin. However, this is no longer the case, you will be able to install through the feature wizard in Windows. Follow this blog post from msdn to get the details!

I am extremely excited about this for more than one reason.

  1. OpenSSH is a powerful tool, the flexibility for which you can do with it is quite boundless.
  2. My projects that I have been working on, would benefit greatly from this.
    • I will add, the time is nigh, and I feel I will be able to showcase it!
