Re: [platform-vcm-dev] SSH with ext or extssh

[Thomas Singer <thomas.singer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James,

thank you for the detailed answer.

How can I detect, whether my SSH-server only supports 2.0 protocol? Do you 
know, whether OpenSSH for Windows is suitable if asking for a password (I 
installed it with the help of public/private keys)? Do you know, what 
server type SourceForge has?

Best regards,
Tom
