Title: SSH client (and server!) options in latest Windows 10
Post by: sheddyian on December 15, 2017, 12:19:34 AM
The "Fall Creators update" of Windows 10 adds the option to install a beta release of an ssh client and server (seperate options).

Discussed in various places online, search for "windows 10" and "ssh", but in summary :

Click start button
type "settings"
in settings, go to "apps"
"manage optional features"
"add a feature"

in amongst the mostly optional fonts you'll see "Openssh client" and "Openssh server" - both beta.  Click the client, then click "install".

You may need to reboot, but after this you can type ssh id@address  in a command prompt and it all works!
