New-SSHSession Timeouts

[jdixon12]

I'm not sure if new MS patches broke it but any New-SFTPSession, New-SSHSession, etc all times out.

"Session operation has timed out"

I can SSH/SCP/SFTP to the hosts just fine, it's just Posh-SSH that is failing suddenly which is odd given I've used it for years. I was still using 2.02 and upgraded to 2.2 in hopes maybe that was the issue, no dice.

Any ideas? Verbose isn't giving any clues. I see it gets the key fine. Hosts are local so no crazy latency or anything like that.

PS C:\> New-SSHSession -ComputerName omah-srv-ovc-01 -Credential $cred -AcceptKey:$true -Verbose

So it was working before windows update and now it does not? Where the updates on the client or the server? Can you try the beta of 3.0 since it will replace the 2.x branch

Windows 10 1909 and it just got the May updates about a week ago. I can grab the beta 3.0 and give that a whirl.

Looks like 3.0 fixed it. I was hesitant to grab it since it was beta but seems way to go.

One other note, I noticed this worked fine for ESX hosts but not Ubuntu hosts so maybe something there. Either way, we're good now and I'm re-writing my script since Set-SCPFile is not Set-SCPItem... :)

Thanks!

Could be the host keys are under the new format an RSA
