Installing the client components is incredibly easy. Having an SSH server means that we can remote into a Windows machine directly from every other OS (they all have native SSH these days except for Windows) and execute PowerShell the same way that we use Bash on Linux, for example. You can use native ssh commands directly from inside of a Windows shell session. That means that you can install the client tools and use these on Windows instead of using a third party tool, such as PuTTY. This OpenSSH port is open source and includes both client and server components.
This is super, duper exciting - both that they have gotten these packages available and that they are working with Chocolatey packaging to make this as easy as possible for users.
Microsoft has been working on porting the OpenSSH SSH client and server packages to Windows and has made the package available via Chocolatey! The package is known as win32-openssh.
