Microsoft To Support SSH In Windows and Contribute To OpenSSH
'Microsoft has announced plans for native support for SSH in Windows. "A popular request the PowerShell team has received is to use Secure Shell protocol and Shell session (aka SSH) to interoperate between Windows and Linux – both Linux connecting to and managing Windows via SSH and, vice versa, Windows connecting to and managing Linux via SSH. Thus, the combination of PowerShell and SSH will deliver a robust and secure solution to automate and to remotely manage Linux and Windows systems." Based on the work from this new direction, they also plan to contribute back to the OpenSSH project as well.' -- source: http://news.slashdot.org/story/15/06/02/1950234 Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/

From <http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/06/microsoft-bringing-ssh-to-windows-and-powershell/>: Even with a native SSH server, Windows still won't be as good a platform for remote command-line management as Unix; the awkward Windows console model means that, for example, Unix creature comforts such as long-running multiplexed "screen" sessions aren't likely to be available on Windows any time soon. But this work should nonetheless remove a big pain point going forward, and that can only be a good thing.
