OpenSSH finally arrived in Windows 10 with April 2018 Update

OpenSSH in Windows 10: Windows 10 has started to become a very useful sysadmin Unix / Linux platform. Microsoft's operating system originally integrated it Subsystem for Linux since Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, and in the latest Windows 10 April 2018 Update, the company added a native Shell (SSH) on Windows.OpenSSH

It took a long time as Microsoft started working on it of OpenSSH in PowerShell since 2015 due to user demand.

But eventually you won't need SSH anymore third-party tools, such as Putty, to connect to a system that has an SSH server. The OSSSH is a collection of utilities /server, and enables developers and system administrators to use secure remote connection, remote file transfer, and public and private key management with any system running an OpenSSH server.

OpenSSH is commonly used on BSD, Linux, MacOS and Unix servers, but can be used on any platform (even Windows 10) with SSH.
Microsoft reportedly has the latest version of OpenSSH, OpenSSH 7.7, as a default in Windows 10 April 2018 Update. The OpenSSH server is also available, but you need to install it.

For full instructions on how to use the app, you can visit the OpenSSH page. The most common way to use the application to connect to a remote server is with the following command:

ssh [user]@[host]:[port]

ή ssh giorgos@iguru.gr:22

If this is your first connection to the given SSH server, the key fingerprint of the host will be displayed and you will be asked to confirm that you want to connect. If you answer yes, the host's key will be stored in the hidden file %UserProfile%\.ssh\known_hosts, so the next time you log in, you won't be prompted again.

Then you must provide the password. Immediately after all of your data is correct, you will log on to the remote server to schedule or run system management tools.

When done, type "exit" to close the connection.
