Prerequisites

  1. Win32-OpenSSH Github releases can be installed on Windows 7 and up.
  2. Note these considerations and project scope first.
  3. Download the latest build of OpenSSH, selecting either the 32-bit or 64-bit MSI.

Install Win32-OpenSSH using MSI

The MSI must be run in a command prompt, as it does not yet have a UI (coming soon). The commands to run, are as follows:

  • To install both the SSH Client & the SSH Server (default behavior)
    msiexec /i <path to openssh.msi>
  • To install only the SSH Client
    msiexec /i <path to openssh.msi> REMOVE=Server
  • To install only the SSH Server
    msiexec /i <path to openssh.msi> REMOVE=Client

Uninstall Win32-OpenSSH using MSI

Similarly, the command to uninstall Win32-OpenSSH is as follows:
msiexec /x <path to openssh.msi>
