Windows client support

Open ekzhang opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

(It looks like due to a bug or some other issue on GitHub, the previous issue for Windows support is not showing up, so I'm going to make a new one.)

The sshx client is mostly cross-platform, except one file terminal.rs. To add Windows support, we would need to port terminal.rs to Windows using the ConPTY API.

Hey! What's the status of this feature?

You're welcome to help implement it! It's the same as before.

Super looking forward to implementing it on Windows

I had some time today and am mostly caught up on emails, so I went ahead and spun up a Windows VM on AWS and made a dev environment. Such a pain to even set up SSH compared to Linux! But that's what it is, remote desktop protocol and so on.

There is a PR #99 that adds Windows support to sshx. Please test and let me know if it works for you. You can build within the branch with cargo run -p sshx. Thanks!

I'm especially interested in hearing if the shell detection is working right. Powershell doesn't seem to be launching, besides that I'm just auto-detecting for git bash and cmd right now. Anything else people use commonly / stats about this? Cygwin?
