In this particular instance ssh-import-id retrieves an SSH key from GitHub for you. The tool can import from both GitHub and Launchpad. Normally the tool takes the retrieved key and adds it to your authorized keys file which is what Ubuntu Server would have been doing. By default, it will append the fetched public key (or keys if you specify multiple accounts) to the current user’s /.ssh/authorizedkeys file. Once you’ve run the above, you will be able to ssh to your server account using the same key you would use to push code to Github.
We have Installed OpenSSH on Linux Ubuntu, now let’s install OpenSSH on Windows 10.
We can use the following choco command to install OpenSSH, see Installing Chocolatey on Windows 10 for a quick Chocolatey setup.
We can use the snippet below to install OpenSSH with Chocolatey
The choco command will download the OpenSSH package to ‘C:ProgramDatachocolateylib’ by default. The Choco command will also execute it’s chocolateyinstall.ps1 script which will in turn install OpenSSH to ‘C:Program FilesOpenSSH-Win64’. Here we can locate the install-sshd.ps1.
We can use the snippet below to execute the install.sshd.ps1
OpenSSH requires host keys and access to those hosts private keys.
We can use the snippet below to generate all the ‘host’ keys needed by sshd
We can use the snippet below to grant the ‘NT Servicesshd’ read access to the host private key files
We will also need to open port 22 in the firewall for inbound traffic for SSH.
We can use the snippet below to generate all the ‘host’ keys needed by sshd
We will need this service running after a reboot, so let’s set the SSHD and the SSH-Agent service to auto-start mode.
We can use the snippet below to set both services to autostart
Now that we have OpenSSH installed let’s configure the sshd_config file.
We can use the snippet below to modify the Password Authentication and add the Powershell Subsystem.
Finally for these configurations to take affect we need to restart the SSHD Service.
We can use the snippet below to restart the SSHD Service.
Now that we have a OpenSSH configured let’s use it to connect to our Linux Server via Powershell Remoting.
Openssh Github Windows
We can use the snippet below to remote to our Linux Server
Openssh Windows Server 2019 Github
