Tip

We recommend using the Windows Subsystem for Linux if you can (on your own machine), followed by starting the SSH Agent and then connecting as for Linux/MacOS systems.

Alternatively, to make native connections from Windows:you can follow the instructions below to:

  • Use native OpenSSH on Windows 10, or
  • Use MobaXterm
Panel
titleNative SSH from Windows 10
  1. Start the Windows SSH Agent Service
  2. Download tsh (you may need to instruct antivirus software to ignore the file)
  3. Login using tsh (you will always need to specify the --proxy setting)
  4. Use an SSH config as below:
Code Block
languagebash
# Windows currently has a bug, you need the full path to ssh or you will get:
# posix_spawn: No such file or directory

Host *.ecmwf.int
  ProxyCommand C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe ab0@shell.ecmwf.int -W %h:%p

# this assumes the SSH Agent is running, otherwise add:
# Host shell.ecmwf.int
#   IdentityFile ~/.tsh/keys/shell.ecmwf.int/firstname.lastname@ecmwf.int
#   IdentitiesOnly yes


Tip

The Windows 10 Terminal is a decent tabbed command line interface (albeit with no X support). New sessions can be configured following this example:

Code Block
languagejs
{
  "guid": "{717406b0-06cb-454c-a0c4-875267fa373d}", # run "[guid]::NewGuid()" in a PowerShell to generate this
  "name": "ecGate",
  "commandline": "ssh ab0@ecgate.ecmwf.int"
  "suppressApplicationTitle": true,
  "hidden": false,
  "fontSize": 10,
  "fontFace": "Fira Code",
  "cursorShape": "filledBox",
  "cursorColor": "#073642",
  "colorScheme": "Solarized Dark",
},
