SSH Client on Windows 10 Using the Command Prompt | SSH from Windows to Linux and Other Systems

SSH Client on Windows 10 will show you how to use the Command Prompt to SSH from Windows to Linux and Other Systems. Use SSH in Command Prompt and connect to a Linux Server or other Systems. Easily install the SSH Client feature on Windows 10 and use Command Prompt instead of a program to SSH today!

An SSH Client is a great way to remote into a headless server/system/computer that has an SSH server installed. This allows you to issues commands to the remote system and change files, configs, and much more on the remote system of your choice. We'll connect to a local server and change up a web page to show a change on the remote local server. Give SSH a try in Command Prompt today.

EXTRA NOTES (Login w/o pass & changing port)


Generate a key > ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048

Note - You will be prompted to enter a file to save the key. By default, it will be saved in ~/.ssh/id_rsa for the private key and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub for the public key.

You'll be asked to enter an optional passphrase. This provides an extra layer of security. If you choose to use a passphrase, make sure to remember it.

You can also copy the key once generated manually.

I tried the command in Windows 11, and it worked without having to install anything. Thank you!

CLEAR! CLEAR! thank you I was confused as SSG Client asked for username and password. And I was like what password? Do have to configure it first. Thank you you made it clear.

These features are usually dependent on the type of windows you install before.. if it's windows 10 home, you'll need to set up a lot from these optional features !

You are so good at helping people and people like you are amazing to this world. For me i have a somewhat different question. Every time i play counter strike 2 i get this "timed out by remote host" and when i diagnose my adaptor it says i have more than one connection to this computer. Is there anything that you would recommend me doing that would be a somewhat easy / beginner fix for this? Thank you so much in advance.

Great video, quick question if I install the openssh server (it's under the openssh client) on the pc I am trying to connect to will that work?

[samrust]

thank you for the video. Is it more secure to connect via PowerShell ? what do you recommend and which is better from security perspective ?

[fabrice]

when trying to ssh connect from windows to ubuntu, I Get this : "Permission denied (publickey)." I already set up an ssh key on my ubuntu VM.

Question: What is the correct terminfo entry to use on Linux for the Windows command prompt window? Basic things work fine as xterm-256color but things like vi do not work properly. Thanks for any help you can provide.

how to set ssh connection between 2 windows pc, remotely, not connected in the same local network?

[lesliesavage]

This didn't help me at all. I could SSH out without Open SSH, but I still can't SSH in, snd the firewall is off.

[djniteshpandey]

It asks for password everytime, Can we add ssh keys again here as we did in video where you made windows as ssh server and linux as client and added ssh keys, I actually read about it on google but fails to use it. Can you please help ? My objective is to ssh over linux from windows using ssh keys so it does not ask for password everytime.

[manasasp]

Though i have installed openssh-client, still it is showing "ssh isnot fount in internal or external command"... could you please help me with this?
