Has anybody else tried using native Win32 OpenSSH like myself instead of PuTTy? https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32

Has anybody else tried using native Win32 OpenSSH like myself instead of PuTTy? https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH Edit: Also, the linked site for MTPuTTy doesn't seem to want to load for me.

Yes, with a lot of issues. They are open issues and being actively worked on, but it isn't exactly stable enough to use everyday, at least for me. --- Almost all the issues are intermittent, and you might not be affected, but my luck has been bad: * Hangs till return, sometimes. [0] * v-flag can hang. [1] * Alt sends \0. [2] * Authentication fails. [3] * Nmap fills the hard drive when sshd is running. Sometimes. [4] * Git compatibility isn't quite there.

  I don't find PuTTY that stable, it crashes on me around once a day using it as an SSH tunnel

    Might be time for a reinstall - I don't think putty has ever crashed on with 4 years of usage. I could just be lucky.

    Yeah, I've got that too. Why I looked into that version of OpenSSH. Still looking for a stable SSH daemon for Windows, because I haven't found one yet, which makes any time I need to work from Windows a real pain.

  MSYS has a solid win32 OpenSSH CLI binary. it's what "git bash" on Windows uses. of course, with WSL, there's not much reason for any of these ssh-on-windows solutions anymore.

    I've had issues with msys' dropping connections, and sshd refusing correct logins. Just my luck.
