Terminal works for standard connections, but to my WANservers I like to connect with SSH keys protected with FIDO, only Putty-CAC seems to do that for the moment on windows. Also if I like to do file uploads through SFTP, WINSCP integrates with Putty-CAC authentication through pageant allowing to SFTP wit WINSCP to my server using my FIDO key. It also integrates with mRemoteNG, giving me a great list and tabbed interface to connect to all my servers, using SSH, RDP, VNC, HTTP(S). So Windows Terminal is great for a lot of users, but Putty and especially Putty-CAC still has its place for a lot of sysadmins.
For anyone having problems with ssh not reading the ssh_config file, I'm assuming, if you're on windows 10, you have to name it config instead of ssh_config. Changing it fixed issues for me as it essentially had no config file until I gave it the proper name. My best guess is "ssh_config" doesnt work on Windows 10, needs to be just "config"
Hi Fabio, this is very helpful content, so thanks. For me, renaming the file from ssh_config to config worked. but i am using windows 10, may be that's why? not sure but i have been doing the same in linux too using config file. i have used ssh_config file for CLIENT configuration (in windows, __PROGRAMDATA__/ssh/ssh_config) (in linux/unix, /etc/ssh/ssh_config). I havenot used windows 11 so good to know. its kind of frustrating that same open source software needs to be configured differently with OS :(
It is working fine, you just won't see anything show on the screen(it's a security thing), just type ur password and press enter and u will get logged in
Appreciate the straight-forwardness
This is a top notch content. Thanks for showing every possibilities.
Great tutorial, didn't know you could do such things, crystal clear explaination, bravo.
Thanks for this very helpful video!
Thank you - straight to the point.
Couldn't get this working on my Win10 box without moving ssh_config to C:\ProgramData\ssh. Otherwise, GOOD STUFF! Thank you.

Can we use X11 Forwarding through Windows Terminal?

THANK YOU! This saved me!
Goat, was wonder why ssh_config wasn't working on my windows machine
For me in Windows 11 filename config worked instead of ssh_config
Thank you
I have windows terminal already installed but don't have the .ssh folder....
Make it
Can anyone tell me why my keyboard doesn't work when it asks for the password, both in PuTTY and in the terminal
It is working fine, you just won't see anything show on the screen(it's a security thing), just type ur password and press enter and u will get logged in
and if i have a custom port?
You can add it in your ssh_config file like I did it with the User tag by writing "Port "
@@FabioGaravini thank you : )
This is only for Windows 11.
No also Windows 10, but you neet to install the terminal from Microsoft Store
