Hello.

I am aware of the support for SSH in Windows 2019 and Windows 10.
I installed the OpenSSH in Windows 8.1 and tried to enter it. All is well.
But if you turn on ssh transport in ansable, then nothing works :frowning:

  1. I have not done something in Windows 8.1 and it works in Windows 2019 and Windows 10?
  2. Or ansibla does not support work in Windows through SSH at all?

thank

P.S. I am using the ansible version : 2.7.9

SSH is not supported on Windows.

Until you upgrade to Ansible 2.8 (currently has an alpha1 release) this won’t work. Experimental support for using SSH with Windows was added with https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/47732. Be aware that this is experimental and if you want something more solid then I advise that you continue to use WinRM instead.

Thank.

I will wait for release 2.8

Actually, if you install NET.Core in Windows, as far as I understand, the ssh input will interact with the powershell.

I will not say anything, the developers know better …
