Now edit the task to update the few settings that are machine- and user-dependent.

Open the Task scheduler tool from the Start menu.Ĭlick on the Import Task… action and select the XML file you created. Proceed with these fake values during the initial import. In particular, UserId and Command are wrong for your machine. WARNING: Beware that this task definition relies on machine- and user-specific properties, and that I wiped them in the file above.

#HOW TO CONNECT TO SSH ON MAC INSTALL#

Install WSL and a Linux distribution, and choose whether you want to use version 1 or 2. Let’s start by configuring the SSH server within WSL: The majority of the configuration process is common between WSL 1 and WSL 2, so let’s do those common steps first. The goal configuration in this post is to have an SSH server on port 2022 to reach WSL and to have it readily available when the machine boots (because reboots can unfortunately happen at any time “thanks to” forced OS updates). The process is tricky though and depends on the WSL version in use, so you can take these as my lab notes set this whole ordeal up.

Could the SSH server inside WSL start at system boot time, without logging in first?Īs it turns out, the answers are yes in all cases.

Could VSCode leverage this connection to directly interact with WSL from my laptop when on-the-go?.

Could I configure Windows so that incoming SSH connections went to WSL?.

Windows has WSL, which had proven to be sufficient for my needs, but WSL is still a separate environment from Windows-and the distinction rears its ugly head when trying to remote into the machine. I knew that Windows ships with an SSH server and that it works well with VSCode, but I am still much more comfortable developing my side projects on a Unix system. Moving to Windows full time, as I briefly touched upon in My story with Windows, required that I could do the same on this platform. Thanks to this, it’s trivial to set up an SSH server to remotely access and administer the machine, which in turn has allowed me to have a nice and powerful desktop computer which I can also leverage when I’m on the go. One of the reasons I like macOS is that it is a Unix system.
