.SYNOPSIS Install OpenSSH-Win64 and the associated ssh-agent service. Optionally install SSHD server and associated sshd service. Optionally install the latest PowerShell Core. .DESCRIPTION See .SYNOPSIS .NOTES .PARAMETER ConfigureSSHDOnLocalHost This parameter is OPTIONAL. This parameter is a switch. If used, the SSHD Server and associated sshd service will be installedm configured, and enabled on the local host. .PARAMETER RemoveHostPrivateKeys This parameter is OPTIONAL. This parameter is a switch. Use it to remove the Host Private Keys after they are added to the ssh-agent during sshd setup/config. Default is NOT to remove the host private keys. This parameter should only be used in combination with the -ConfigureSSHDOnLocalHost switch. .PARAMETER DefaultShell This parameter is OPTIONAL. This parameter takes a string that must be one of two values: "powershell","pwsh" If set to "powershell", when a Remote User connects to the local host via ssh, they will enter a Windows PowerShell 5.1 shell. If set to "pwsh", when a Remote User connects to the local host via ssh, the will enter a PowerShell Core 6 shell. If this parameter is NOT used, the Default shell will be cmd.exe. This parameter should only be used in combination with the -ConfigureSSHDOnLocalHost switch. .PARAMETER GiveWinSSHBinariesPathPriority This parameter is OPTIONAL, but highly recommended. This parameter is a switch. If used, ssh binaries installed as part of OpenSSH-Win64 installation will get priority in your $env:Path. This is especially useful if you have ssh binaries in your path from other program installs (like git). .PARAMETER GitHubInstall This parameter is OPTIONAL. This parameter is a switch. If used, OpenSSH binaries will be installed by downloading the .zip from https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases/latest/, expanding the archive, moving the files to the approproiate location(s), and setting permissions appropriately. .PARAMETER SkipWinCapabilityAttempt This parameter is OPTIONAL. This parameter is a switch. In more recent versions of Windows (Spring 2018), OpenSSH Client and SSHD Server can be installed as Windows Features using the Dism Module 'Add-WindowsCapability' cmdlet. If you run this function on a more recent version of Windows, it will attempt to use 'Add-WindowsCapability' UNLESS you use this switch. As of May 2018, there are reliability issues with the 'Add-WindowsCapability' cmdlet. Using this switch is highly recommend in order to avoid using 'Add-WindowsCapability'. .PARAMETER Force This parameter is a OPTIONAL. This parameter is a switch. If you are already running the latest version of OpenSSH, but would like to reinstall it and the associated ssh-agent service, use this switch. .EXAMPLE # Open an elevated PowerShell Session, import the module, and - PS C:\Users\zeroadmin> Install-WinSSH -GiveWinSSHBinariesPathPriority -ConfigureSSHDOnLocalHost -DefaultShell powershell -GitHubInstall #> function Install-WinSSH { [CmdletBinding()] Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] [switch]$ConfigureSSHDOnLocalHost, [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] [switch]$RemoveHostPrivateKeys, [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] [ValidateSet("powershell","pwsh")] [string]$DefaultShell, # For situations where there may be more than one ssh.exe available on the system that are already part of $env:Path # or System PATH - for example, the ssh.exe that comes with Git [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] [switch]$GiveWinSSHBinariesPathPriority, [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] [switch]$GitHubInstall, [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] [switch]$SkipWinCapabilityAttempt, [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] [switch]$Force ) ##### BEGIN Variable/Parameter Transforms and PreRun Prep ##### if (!$(GetElevation)) { Write-Verbose "You must run PowerShell as Administrator before using this function!
