SSH from Windows Terminal not working sent by Raghav Sinha 17.January 2025

Hi everybody,

I had similar problem after I started my work this year on new  version of FABRIC.

It is confusing because in Jupyter environment  the ssh from terminal  works without problems.

However, on my local VM I have got same final error as Raghav Sinha.

It is not new for me. I had this problem also in February last year but after generating new bastion_key everything was fixed.

So I repeated same procedure this year and it works fine for both platforms. Seems me it has some relation to new versions of FABRIC.

My bastion was still valid as it shows report and also examples.

One with old and one with new keys running on Jupyter term. The same experiment with Windows is different.

See more below.
