"SSH server" in Windows?

Question

I want to write a function, replacing T by space.

   b=""
   xs=list("fghtThjchk")
   for x in xs:
       if x=="T" or "t":
           x==" "
           b=b+x

I can do it with .replace, but I still want to know can I use list to do it.

Solution 1

One approach, of course, is to actually run an SSH server on the windows box. But a more Windows-focused solution is a tool from the SysInternals folks (now part of Microsoft) called PsExec, which is designed to do exactly what you want.

Solution 2

You need a SSH server running on windows. like http://www.kpym.com/2/kpym/index.htm

There isnt any installed by default, And I have been using this for some time. it is good

Solution 3

You can use the freesshd server from fresshd.com. It does work great, you will set-up the server in seconds :)

Solution 4

I've had a lot of good experience installing cygwin and its sshd port. There are wrappers which will turn it into a windows service, and you get the bash shell as an extra.

http://chinese-watercolor.com/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html is a decent starting point, you can evaluate if it is what you want.

Solution 5

As of 2015-06-02, Microsoft has announced upcoming support for SSH.

So, am I correct in reading between the lines that this "other computer" is not running windows, and that this is the reason you want/need to execute these commands remotely?

[Benjamin Oakes]

@SamB: Yes, that's correct. I'm using Ubuntu on my main machine.

Agreed, cygwin + ssh is nice and easy, and you get a conveniently unix-like shell and environment to run your programs from. If you like ssh, you probably already know Unix.

[SamB]

But PsExec only runs on Windows systems, right?

[SamB]

Well, it's all fine and dandy to say RTFM, but that would be easier if we could find said manual... any tips, such as the name of page and maybe an MSDN/Technet link -- especially now that it seems like MS may have finally learned the value of an URL?

[SamB]

Also, isn't there some registry change needed to get it let you have more than one logged-in session at the same time on anything less than Server? I doubt MS would want to make the docs for that easy to find, assuming that there are any docs for that...

This looks as a nice solution but, the forum is down (cannot post) and it looks that it doesn't allow domain logins.

[sorin]

Remark, this solution does not support key authentication.

Also, this is only 'free', meaning that every time you do a SSH it will display you a login message asking you to register(buy) it, you have to wait 5+ seconds to be able to continue.

[sorin]

Remark, this is a slow SSH server.

This was my first thought, then I saw they are building the new string in b

I tried freesshd - what you get is a login into a windows shell (cmd.exe?) with a fixed width that does not adapt to your terminal client, i.e. you get annoying line breaks mid-screen. Also, it's nowhere near a bash shell, so I figured, if I want a really usable ssh login into my windows box, I'll do it using cygwin, which I've done before. Granted, cygwin is a bit like an os inside the os, but it does make windows usable for a (unix) cmd line user.

@SamB Yes. It's actually used to run commands with (super-)elevated privileges, including as the SYSTEM account (not only Administrator).
