Hmm, I tried it on my Windows box on Virtualbox, and could get shell("ssh.exe")
to execute and print help info, but other attempts caused a crash
You'd still use system()
, just with the correct path.
Do you think it's best to use RStudio ssh
/scp
when on linux and mac too? Or just windows?
It's only bundled on windows, because it's commonly installed on the other two
right, just checking if there's any reason to favor rstudio version even on unix/linux, just windows then
Hi @sckott have you tried this out? I've used your ssh/scp code at googleComputeEngineR, and getting people having issues on Windows trying to connect. Using a version shipped with RStudio sounds cool.
i haven't tried yet - will try to get to soon and get back to you
@sckott a little development, it looks as if the RStudio SSH client has a hardcoded place to put SSH keys, so potentially you could use those to authenticate. I'm in the same position as you in having trouble getting a Windows machine to fully test it https://github.com/cloudyr/googleComputeEngineR/issues/32#issuecomment-277599012
thx, will have a look soon
For windows - found in
RStudio\bin\msys_ssh
