Get SSH working on Vagrant/Windows/Git

gistfile1.md

If you are using vagrant, you probably-statistically are using git. Make sure you have its binary folder on your path, because that path contains 'ssh.exe'.

Now, modify C:\vagrant\vagrant\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\vagrant-1.0.3\lib\vagrant\ssh.rb to comment out the faulty Windows check and add a real SSH check:

# if Util::Platform.windows?
  # raise Errors::SSHUnavailableWindows, :host => ssh_info[:host],
                                       # :port => ssh_info[:port],
                                       # :username => ssh_info[:username],
                                       # :key_path => ssh_info[:private_key_path]
# end

which = Util::Platform.windows? ? "where ssh >NUL 2>&1" : "which ssh >/dev/null 2>&1"
raise Errors::SSHUnavailable if !Kernel.system(which)

Now you can do vagrant ssh. Happy camper again!

Adding C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin worked for me too.

..git\usr\bin works perfect, the previous solution ..git\bin is not needed as path variable.
thanks @rekestas

Added "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin" in PATH and it worked for me. thanks :)

Git\usr\bin works for me too! Excellent solution! Thanks a lot!

Yup "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin" works, Thanks :)

In my case even adding ssh to the PATH didn't solve the problem. What I had to do is connect to vagrant with ssh manually. After executing vagrant up, instead of executing vagrant ssh, I do this:

ssh vagrant@127.0.0.1 -p 2222
And the password is "vagrant"

For getting all the information about the ip, port and user you can use

vagrant ssh-config
Ope this helps somebody...

@cancerberoSgx Thank you!
