DSE II Remote Farm SSH Setup

Hi Nurina,

Thank your for your reply, I am grateful for Intel's attention on this request. Sorry for the delay, I have been away for a few days.

In fact I had already followed the steps in your last post, for DSE with Windows's OpenSSH server.

I had basically used exactly the same steps to set up the server on openSSH, but recently I have also tried using PuTTY on the client side, just in case it made any difference. I don't believe it does make a difference, and I am continuing to use PuTTY on the client side right now.

The DSE client is correctly making an SSH connection to openSSH running on the Windows server. The problem happens after that.....

The first problem is that the default shell on Windows openSSH is a Windows command shell. It clearly does not understand the incoming remote job from DSE.

So I tried changing the default openSSH shell on the Windows server to be a BASH shell. There are instructions here:

https://www.hanselman.com/blog/the-easy-way-how-to-ssh-into-bash-and-wsl2-on-windows-10-from-an-external-machine

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH i have set DefaultShell to C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe

But this still returns errors. It looks like some basic problems to do with path formats. Here is the transcript from DSE:

I should say that I am no expert with this stuff, so I am quite possibly missing something obvious!

Thanks again and regards,

Nick
