#42 To allow support of windows openssh agent pipe

[vlinx]

The name of the windows openssh agent pipe, default is: \.\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent

(get-childitem \.\pipe).FullName | FindStr ssh
\.\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent

The community has some complicated solutions, see below.

But they are very inconvenience.

PuTTY-nd supports pageant agent pipe out of box

(get-childitem \.\pipe).FullName | FindStr page
\.\pipe\pageant.user_name.uniq_id

I love this feature!
Please try with the attachement, and turn on the config item: [Global Settings]->[Global Misc]->[Custom SSH agent], to see if it is what you want.

Thanks Dong Lu, I have tested the version 7.20 patch 1. It is working as expected for this specific feature.

Thanks, released as 7.21

just to doc the usage: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68386656

1. Enable the ssh-agent service

Via Admin Powershell:

Set-Service   ssh-agent -StartupType Automatic
Start-Service ssh-agent

2. Now ssh-add works

ssh-add path/to/.ssh/id_rsa
