Use SSH to connect to a Windows OS in Linux

Question

In Windows machine, I installed Ubuntu in my Oracle VM VirtualBox.

In Ubuntu, if I want to connect to another Linux machine:

$ ssh username@ip

But if I want to connect to my Windows machine, that way doesn't work!

So how can I connect to a Windows machine using ssh from Ubuntu (i.e. in my vm virtualBox)?

@bodhi.zazen thank your answer. After I install openssh for Windows, when I use ssh username@ip, there is the following error:

root@lime-VirtualBox:/home/lime# ssh [email protected]

And in my Windows machine, I reedit the C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSH for Window/etc/sshd_config like that:

PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yes

But I still get the same error.

When I connect my Ubuntu using ssh from my Windows machine, the error

Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive)

still exists.

Solution

Same way, but you need to run a ssh server on the Windows machine (and make sure you are not firewalling the connection).

Edit: If you need a windows ssh client, use PuTTy

Do you want to connect from a Linux host to a Windows host (it's Windows, not window), or do you want to connect from a Windows host to a Linux host?

Are trying to connect to a windows server or is windows the client and Linux the server ?

I want to connect from a Linux host to a Windows host..

[Panther]

The machine you connect FROM is the client, the machine you connect TO is the server. Sounds as if you need a Windows ssh server.

[orange]

yes..I am installing a Windows ssh server --openssh...

Is "sikaiwei" your user name on the Windows server ? What password are you using (use your windows login password I assume).

[orange]

oh,no!"sikaiwei" is not."myth" is my user name on the Windows server.But I try it again,the error still exist..

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about configuring a SSH daemon on Windows.

[orange]

sorry.But I don't know where I can go except this site...

You could try Super User or very possibly Server Fault (though I think Super User would be a better bet). You can flag your question for moderator attention if you want it migrated; please don't simply repost it elsewhere.

Sorry.How can I do to flag my question for moderator attention and migrate it to Super User?
