SSH into Linux Subsystem for Windows
  • In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf, set UsePrivilegeSeparation to no
  • In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf, temporarily enable plaintext passwords
  • In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf, change port (e.g. to 23) to avoid confusion with Windows SSH server
  • sudo service ssh restart
  • Add alternative port as a new rule to Windows firewall
  • On the client: ssh-copy-id user@server
  • In /etc/ssh/sshd_conf, re-disable plaintext passwords
