openssh: wrong install location
Closed this issue · 2 comments
as Google, the openssh bin should be places in %WINDIR%\System32\OpenSSH
Binaries are installed to
%WINDIR%\System32\OpenSSH. Configuration file (sshd_config) and host keys are installed to%ProgramData%\ssh(only after the server is started for the first time).
But after install OpenSSH using just-install, I found the binaries stored in C:\Program Files\OpenSSH.
Could you have a look on it?
Moreover, in the OpenSSH folder installed by just-install, there is no ssh.exe, just these files:
ssh-add.exe
ssh-agent.exe
ssh-host-config
ssh-keygen.exe
ssh-keyscan.exe
This is not a bug and can be closed. It's simply two different distributions of the same software.
The version of OpenSSH distributed by just-install is a third-party server package. You would not find a ssh.exe in it, because ssh.exe is the OpenSSH client. The actual server binary is located under C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\usr\sbin\sshd.exe in this version. The thing that you found a description of is a built-in Windows feature on Windows 10, that can be enabled via the Settings > Apps > Manage optional features menu.
OK, I had a look myself and can confirm. Thanks.
