Here are the steps as I implemented to get PuTTY and Cygwin playing nicely.ĭownload and run the cygwin64 installer (setup_x86_64.exe) from Īdd additional packages to install: cmake, gcc-core. Simon Tatham, the author of PuTTY gave me the answer. Lots of have temporarily solved it by starting a local openssh sshd on cygwin and then I can use the full SSH protocol to ssh into localhost:22. psusan.exe -listen /path/to/socketfile # creates a UNIX socketfileĪnd in the Putty 0.77 GUI I can say 'Other -> Bare SSH Connection', but I can't find how to specify the socketfile (or maybe stdin/stdout?) in the GUI, or what to put in for 'host' or 'port' on the 'session' page. I am able to start psusan on cygwin with. There doesn't seem to be any binary 'cygwin linked' psusan.exe program on the executable on cygwin. The links mention a helper program psusan extracted from the 'unix' putty sourcecode. Now I see 'Bare SSH connection' as the approved method per this post: Then putty via telnet (circa 2015) but there is no telnet on Cygwin 64bit.

First (circa 2010) it was putty-cyg which is now unmaintained. Installed Putty and installed Cygwin and now I want to setup Putty to open 'Local' windows with a cygwin bash like I have with my last three laptops.

Just got a shiny new laptop running Windows 10.
