[ale] Weird ssh problem

[Chuck Payne]

Ron,

You can use ssh with CLI or Powershell on Windows 10/11, you don't need putty.

SInce I can't send pixs, this from my cmd window


C:\Users\chuck>ssh -v
usage: ssh [-46AaCfGgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-B bind_interface] [-b bind_address]
           [-c cipher_spec] [-D [bind_address:]port] [-E log_file]
           [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file]
           [-J destination] [-L address] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec]
           [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-P tag] [-p port] [-Q query_option]
           [-R address] [-S ctl_path] [-W host:port] [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]]
           destination [command [argument ...]]


Are you sure his account is created?

> invalid user simeon@<hostname>'.

Did you do id on his user?

id simeon

Also guys, instead of filezilla you could get him to download and use
mobaxtern, it has all that built in.
