Seems like they're missing support for a lot of algorithms.

It's a good step to be sure, but not a replacement for Putty by any means.

Which algorithms are they missing?

  • rando444  8 years ago

    ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

    without these you'll likely be unable to connect to Cisco devices, vCenter, etc.

      The SHA1 variants are deprecated on modern OpenSSH as well, although they're still supported if you explicitly enable them.

      I agree that it would be nice to have them "opt-in" in Windows as well, in my experience a significant amount of legacy equipment still uses these deprecated algorithms.

      I never thought I'd say that, but maybe Microsoft needs to work more on backwards compatibility. :)
