Environment:
Windows 10.0.21327 wsl2, ubuntu 20 LTS win32-openssh
Windows Openssh Default shell changed to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH\DefaultShell
- C:\WINDOWS\System32\wsl.exe
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH\DefaultShellCommandOption
- -e
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH\DefaultShellEscapeArguments
- 0
Problem: I am trying to ssh in from a remote ubuntu machine to the windows machine and run rsync commands in the bash shell which is set as default shell for open ssh in windows. This was working fine in wsl1 for me before but doesnt work for me now that i changed the .exe from bash.exe to wsl.exe.
As a test I run the following command and get the standard version and command line usage output from rsync: ssh user@192.168.1.100 rsync
When I add rsync arguments I get no output whereas I would expect the rsync version to be printed in my stdout (correct assumption?) :
ssh user@192.168.1.100 rsync --version
If I add the -t arugment I get output:
ssh -t user@192.168.0.100 rsync --version
But I don't think I want to pass in -t as an option to ssh when i run real rsync commands because i think that rsync requires a non interactive login shell doesnt it?
If I try to run a real rsync command I always get the following error:
Command:
rsync -vihrtl --progress --delete --partial -e "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa" user@192.168.1.100:/mnt/k/Onedrive /misc-home-backup/misc-home-media
Error:
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(235) [Receiver=3.1.3]
If I just ssh in to the windows machine from ubuntu I get a normal bash shell prompt with no messages, newlines, or any other output. And I checked my ~/.bashrc file in wsl ubuntu, which i havent ever changed from its default config and one of the first entries in there is that a login shell will be silent with no output.
Question: I think that my problem is that with my openssh configuration on windows I can do: ssh user@host command But cant do: ssh user@host command arguments
How do I configure the DefaultShell registry entry for windows openssh to be able to pass in command line options?
