Windows 10 has in the April 2018 Update a new function that many people have been asking for for some time, it has been in the development process since 2015, but the official launch is offered only now. We are talking about the implementation, in the end, of OpenSSH in Windows 10 for all users interested in connecting to servers using SSH, so that third-party programs will no longer have to be used to perform this functionality on their own computers.
Windows 10 brings through OpenSSH a suite of programs that are very useful for those who connect to remote servers, they offer the possibility to undertake a variety of functions as needed. We are talking here about running commands on the server, transferring files from Windows 10 to the server, plus other functions that a server administrator uses to control that server, or solve various problems, if necessary.
Windows 10: The Unexpected Function Brought after 3 YEARS of Work
Windows 10 has natively implemented OpenSSH with the April 2018 Update because Microsoft was "beaten on the head" for several years by the users of the operating system to offer such a functionality, but it still refused. Now it took no less than 3 years to integrate OpenSSH support into Windows 10, so users should be happy that they finally have the functionality they have been waiting for so long.
"Windows 10 is becoming a useful Unix/Linux sysadmin platform. First, it has incorporated Windows Subsystem for Linux in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Now, in the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, Microsoft has finally brought a native Secure Shell (SSH) to Windows. It's taken a long time. Microsoft started work on porting OpenSSH to PowerShell in 2015 because of user demand."
Windows 10 practically eliminates the need to use Putty to connect to various servers on computers, so all you have to do is install the update from Microsoft on your computers. Windows 10 also has another major update in the development process at Microsoft, it brings a variety of other important news, but as they are revealed, I will talk about them in separate articles.
