Clients Performing SSH jumps using the secure password terminal proxy (COSH) may vary depending on the SSH client used.
Mobaxterm:
- SSH Session with Key Authentication: - In Mobaxterm, it is important to use double backslashes (
\\) when passing SSH commands that include keys. Using only one backslash (\) may result in the key not being recognized. If the server has the same username and uses more than one authentication method, the key name must be specified. Otherwise, if the username uses only key authentication, the key prediction may be omitted.
CMD and PowerShell:
- CMD and PowerShell do not vary in interpretation between the use of one or two backslashes to escape characters.
PuTTY:
- SSH Session Configuration: - Similar to CMD and PowerShell, PuTTY does not have any major differences in handling one or two backslashes in the context of SSH commands.
