hi Guys,

just like how i ssh from one linux machine to another using ssh root@192.168.10.1, i would like to do the same thing from linux to connect to a windows machine. is this possible??

my goal is to scp log files from linux machine to windows machine.
mounting is not my option, as it has many flaws. could some one please help me.

you need to install sshd on windows

you'll need an SSH server then. the Cygwin project provides an openssh implementation which may well suit your needs.

Just install the winscp (freeware) on your windows machine and you can copy files from Linux to windows from windows machine itself.

Below is the link for your referance.

well note that he asked for linx TO windows, which winscp will NOT help with. However, it is often MUCH easier to change the requirements and use winscp.

if you are on a network, and you want to transfer files , why don't you go for samba?

hi all,

i have installed openssh in my windows pc. now, from my windows PC, i can SSH into my linux tester.
but from my linux tester, i can't SSH into my windows PC. im getting error such as " ssh: connect to host xxx port:22: connection refused "
anyone has experienced this before? is it because my windows PC is joined to a domain and my linux machine is not??

i dont want to use samba. i want to scp files from linux to windows

Well that could be that you've not opened up firewall services to port 22 on windows or an intermediate device, or the SSH service is not running.

have you started/configured ssh server (daemon or service) ?

hi guys.

well, i have installed FreeSSHD into my windows pc and got my sshd server running fine. my linux pc has the ssh server configured fine. so right now, what im experiencing is, from my linux pc, i issued this command to log into my windows PC : "ssh -Tv myuser.name@10.34.31.29"
and im getting below error

any idea why????

Did you copy the public key to the server? You are trying the use a key based authentication, but either the public key is missing, or is mismatched with the private key offered by the client. There are numerous online tutorials for setting up ssh keys.
