Get SSH working on Vagrant/Windows/Git

gistfile1.md

If you are using vagrant, you probably-statistically are using git. Make sure you have its binary folder on your path, because that path contains 'ssh.exe'.

Now, modify C:\vagrant\vagrant\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\vagrant-1.0.3\lib\vagrant\ssh.rb to comment out the faulty Windows check and add a real SSH check:

# if Util::Platform.windows?
  # raise Errors::SSHUnavailableWindows, :host => ssh_info[:host],
                                       # :port => ssh_info[:port],
                                       # :username => ssh_info[:username],
                                       # :key_path => ssh_info[:private_key_path]
# end

which = Util::Platform.windows? ? "where ssh >NUL 2>&1" : "which ssh >/dev/null 2>&1"
raise Errors::SSHUnavailable if !Kernel.system(which)

Now you can do vagrant ssh. Happy camper again!

please help, i'm just starting to learn Drupal 8. I'm stuck in running 'vagrant ssh' command. I'm still getting 'ssh executable not found in any direct SSH client installed? Try installing Cyg contain an SSH client. Or use your favor authentication information shown below:'. As I read comments above, one recommendation is to set the PATH to '%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin' .. However, I check the directory and I've noticed that there's no such ssh.exe file in any directory in my computer. So i was thinking I need to download and install that ssh.exe . I've searched on the internet and downloaded the one from Git.. Now that I've installed it and verified that ssh.exe is now existing in the directory , i've set the path but still stuck in the same error. :(

please refer to the attached screenshot

Try adding the path D:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

Thanks Julian Frank but for me it was the C drive:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

The route C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin works fine for me. The first solution should not be necessary.

Adding C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin worked for me too.

..git\usr\bin works perfect, the previous solution ..git\bin is not needed as path variable.
thanks @rekestas

Added "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin" in PATH and it worked for me. thanks :)

Git\usr\bin works for me too! Excellent solution! Thanks a lot!

Yup "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin" works, Thanks :)

In my case even adding ssh to the PATH didn't solve the problem. What I had to do is connect to vagrant with ssh manually. After executing vagrant up, instead of executing vagrant ssh, I do this:

ssh [email protected] -p 2222
And the password is "vagrant"

For getting all the information about the ip, port and user you can use

vagrant ssh-config
Ope this helps somebody...

@cancerberoSgx Thank you!
