Windows 10: Enable PowerShell SSH Remoting in PowerShell 7

SSH into PowerShell

So Microsoft does provide
SSH server as a part of Windows 10, but that uses cmd.exe as a default shell for everyone who connects to it.

I would like to use PowerShell as a shell to be used as my default shell.

When I type "powershell" and press enter, it does appear that command was executed successfuly, but I do not actually end up in PowerShell but instead I am still in cmd.exe. So I presume that the successfully executed command means that actual powershell
window opened on the Windows machine that I am SSHed into. This is not what I want.

Is there any way to start PowerShell from SSH session using cmd.exe as a shell or maybe even setting PowerShell as default shell?

I mean, even more than that I would prefer BASH from "Linux subsystem for Windows" to be used, but starting that when SSHed into WIndows causes the remote connection to become completely unresponsive. I do get moved into BASH, but any input that I make does
not get registered. All I can do is kill the session and establish new one.

 

Remote desktop client: SSH tunnel

Hi Thanatica... Do you mean use Powershell over SSH? I use this myself all the time to connect to my remote servers.

See link.

To set it up you will need to enable windows remote management on both ends.

Make sure in services.msc the windows remote management service is running. Also in windows firewall make sure port 5986 is enabled.

If the machines you are trying to connect to are on a different domain\subnet you will need to add them to your trusted host list.

PowerShell is open sourced and is available on Linux/macOS

Debate: initialsession: remove curl and wget aliases by bagder · Pull Request #1901 · PowerShell/PowerShell

Apparently wget and curl are aliases in powershell for something else than wget and curl.
