I know putty, but what I want is to ssh into Windows and get an actual

Depends on what you mean by extra software. On Windows Server 2025 the
OpenSSH Server is included. On Windows 11

1. Open Settings
2. Search for optional features
3. In 'add optional feature'  hit 'View Features'
4. Search for OpenSSH Server
5. Check the box and install it
6. open services.msc
7. sshd will be set to manual. Set to Automatic and start it.

Maybe not necessary:

8. In %windir%\system32\OpenSSH copy sshd_config_default to sshd_config
9. Uncomment PasswordAuthentication
10. Check to see if there is an inbound rule for port 22
11. Restart sshd

You can also start sshd.exe from the OpenSSH directory. I had a timeout
connecting, tried manual starting, and got a disconnect after entering my
password. I modified the config, restarted the service and

ssh rbowman@192.168.1.14
rbowman@192.168.1.14's password:

gets me

rbowman@LAPTOP-4JQQ0FSD C:\Users\rbowman>


and I can happily navigate around.
