would you like to be able to use SSH to
remote into your Windows 10 machine hi
I'm West Brian entertainer at IT Pro TV
and I'm going to show you how to get
that OpenSSH server up and running here
are my Windows 10 desktop one of the
first things that we're gonna do is
we're gonna go to the windows tile a
little start button down here in the
right lower left-hand corner we're gonna
right click and choose apps and features
now this will bring up your Windows
settings apps and features location and
what we're looking for is the little
optional features hyperlink just below
apps and features in the middle of your
screen
you can click on this and this brings
you to the optional features that are
already installed in your Windows 10
machine however we don't have the
OpenSSH server installed so what we're
gonna do is click the plus button wit
that says add a feature when we click
that you can scroll down they are
alphabetic and you will find the OpenSSH
server in the list and you can see it's
about 1.2 3 megabytes when we hover over
that we should get the install button
and we can click install now it
disappears but don't be don't be afraid
it didn't go anywhere if we choose the
back button in the upper left-hand
corner of our windows settings window
you'll see that the OpenSSH server is
currently being installed and once it's
installed we can't use it yet it's there
it's ready to go for us and we can
verify just by us finding it in the list
now but what we need to do is we need to
start the service and it doesn't start
by default so I'm gonna go to the
instant search field within the taskbar
here and I'm going to type the word
services dot MSC and that will allow us
to open our services Microsoft
management console and in the Microsoft
management console you can search for
through the list for the open SSH server
and it's kind of redundant here it'll
say OpenSSH open or what we got open SSH
SSH server so little redundant but if
you click on that double click you're
gonna notice that the service isn't
started by default now if you want this
to start when the computer boots up just
change the startup type from manual to
automatic and then you can go ahead and
click start
once that's done go ahead and choose the
okay button and that'll now ensure every
time you boot your Windows 10 machine
that the OpenSSH server is running and
listening out for SSH remote connections
let's go ahead and test out our
functionality here I'm going to switch
over to our Linux machine so I'm logged
into my Linux server and I'm running a
boon to here and we're gonna use SSH the
same way we use inside of Linux to
connect to our Windows machine let's go
ahead and do that so we're gonna type
ssh space and i'm gonna type the
username on our Windows 10 machine and
then an @ symbol and the IP address of
our Windows 10 machine 192.168.1 o7 131
in this case and when I enter this
notice that it's challenging me for the
password and I'm gonna go ahead and type
in the password and one of the things
that you're gonna notice here is that we
are in a Windows 10 prompt now I can see
C colon backslash users backslash
students and if I run a dir command I
can see there's my Windows 10 profile
and we can even go farther than that if
we wanted to we can do a CD backslash
and take us all the way back to the root
and we can look at the windows
directories here so if we type dir now
there we go I've got my Program Files
Program Files x86 users and my windows
directory all here in an SSH shell
connected from lennox back to our
Windows 10 machine if you like what
