I need that because I am coding a cpp project in windows, which needs to remote control another pc to execute another cpp program. Also, I need to be able to remote control the localhost so that I could use all kinds of ip to test or to use my project. If you really want to have a remote shell on Windows, check out Powershell Remoting. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.

Hi LiBai , thanks for the question. For more on logging see here. Hi LiBai ,. I'm just following up. Are you able to provide debug logs from your OpenSSH Server so we can drill down further into the issue? Thank you very much for the quick reply. I have tried the way you offered to me. There are two different outputs in the PowerShell: One is the non-administrator mode and the other is the administrator mode. I am sorry the debug information is too long. And the reply box is limited by words.

I will post the complete debug information in the answer box. You don't need to be in that directory nor do you need the ssh. Secondly please ensure If you still can't get it to work after verifying above, it appears your having an issue with the authentication. You should focus on the first half of the guide by ensuring you have the correct firewall rules in windows firewall step 11 and read access.

If you get this far and are still having issues, I'm confident it is a firewall or other authentication issue. Please let me know how this goes, I'd like to see you resolve this. Remove From My Forums. Answered by:. Archived Forums. Windows 10 Installation, Setup, and Deployment.
