    SSH to wsl 2


    Anyone know how to get ssh to work in windows wsl 2? I've followed some guides, but I'm still getting connection refused when I try to ssh into my windows ip, or it just hangs when I ssh into the wsl ip

    How can I SSH into my WSL bash shell from an external enviroment

    Hi,

    I work between three different machines

    Windows 10 Laptop - using WSL

    Mac OS X

    Linux Ubuntu server - accessed via a console from a Linux machine

    I have files stored in all these locations.

    WSL - only used for editing files when I don't have access to primary dev environment

    Mac OS X - used for Adobe software

    Linux server - live environment

    I need to access, pull, push and edit files/directories in all these locations. I can do this between the Linux box and Mac OS X easily using SSH but I don't seem able to find a way to SSH into the WSL on my W10 laptop.

    Is this possible? If indeed it is possible, can you link me to the help materials for setting this up please. Pretty new to the WSL so sorry for the stupid noob question.

    Thanks

    Jay

    Cannot upgrade installed distros in WSL to version 2

    After installing the Win10 2004 build 19041 update (running winver shows "version 2004 (OS build 19041.388)", I've tried to upgrade a couple of installed distros I had in WSL version 1 to WSL version 2 following the instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../install-win10. All the steps in the instructions compete successfully, up to the point where I try to change the WSL version of one of the installed distros to 2 at which point I see the messages below:

    Code:
    I have enabled the Virtual Machine Platform feature (it shows as on with a tick against it in Control Panel Windows features), Intel-vt virtualization is enabled in the BIOS, and running msinfo32 shows, at the bottom of the system summary listing:

    Code:
    I also tried installing another distro with the WSL default version set to 2, but attempting to launch it shows the error:

    Code:
    Any suggestions on how to get around this problem? From what I've read, WSL2 gives worthwhile speed increases over WSL1, and so is worth using if I can get it to work.
