Seems a bit excessive to install WSL just to get an SSH client.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You don't have to. There's an openssh client available in powershell. Maybe when cmd, though I haven't tried it.

Ah, cool. I do have WSL installed on every Windows box I use regularly, but it's good to know for when I run into a more locked down machine.
