Steps to reproduce

After creating SSH keypair for public key authentication successfully I wonder if I can user a SSH configuration file ~/.ssh/config? Please note that I'm not talking about SSH Server configuration file _sshdconf.

This SSH configuration file could have this content:

Host remote-server
    HostName remote-server
    User d038783
    IdentityFile C:\Users\Name\.ssh\id_ed25519
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    ForwardAgent no
    PreferredAuthentications publickey
    ControlPath C:\Users\Name\.ssh\cm-%r@%h:%p
    ControlMaster auto
    ControlPersist 10m

If SSH configuration file ~/.ssh/config is supported, are there any restrictions regarding SSH options? And what is the correct syntax when using a path? / or \?

c:\users\username.ssh\config is supported. you can add Host aliases in it. I don't know if all values/options are supported.

This issue is solved.

I created file C:\user\username.ssh\config with this content:

Host *
    ServerAliveInterval 180
    ServerAliveCountMax 3
    ForwardAgent no
    RemoteForward /run/user/2038783/gnupg/S.gpg-agent ~/AppData/Local/gnupg/d.o35wa9tdt49rzsbu/S.gpg-agent.extra

You'll notice the forward-slash / in line RemoteForward that works for the path ~/AppData/Local/gnupg/d.o35wa9tdt49rzsbu/S.gpg-agent.extra on Windows client.
