ssh on windows server 2008

Asked by Lucius

This is a rather general question about the best way setting up bzr on a central server using SSH. What we do successfully today is running a 3rd party SSH server on our central server listening to port 22, (windows server does not come with SSH server out of the box as Linux does), and connect from clients via bzr+ssh://

My question is about the purpose of the bzr serve command. Does bzr serve launch a smart server with a full SSH server functionality? Ask in another way; could I replace the 3rd party SSH server by running bzr serve and have clients connect as before? Can I get rid of my 3rd part SSH server?

Hi,

At the moment we don't have a builtin way to run up an ssh server connected to bzr; you need an external ssh server. We would like to add this feature (see bug 84660).

Note that you can also run the smart server with other authentication services. See http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/latest/en/admin-guide/index.html
