It doesn't work with the original releases of Windows 10. Microsoft didn't make OpenSSH server available until a relatively recent Windows 10 service pack. It has been working quite well for me from the Windows 10 service pack on the 3 or 4 Windows 10 machines that I run. > We have been happily using JNLP for our Windows agents, but, as we deploy > Java 11 on our slaves, the JNLP method is no longer available. > Since you were using JNLP from a web browser previously, I assume that means you were launching from a desktop login. If you're launching from a desktop login, then you can launch the agent with a batch file instead of using JNLP. That works with Java 11. Don't forget that the Java version running the agent process must be the same major Java version as the Java version running the master. If you're running Java 11 on your master, you need to run Java 11 on the agent. If you're running Java 8 on the master, you need to run Java 8 on the agents. > > Please share any tips and tricks you may have needed to employ to make the > SSH slaves work as expected. > > Thanks in advance. > > Steve K. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Jenkins Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to jenkinsci-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/jenkinsci-users/1298b6db-6dd5-4226-8d0e-f394e50e3077%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/jenkinsci-users/1298b6db-6dd5-4226-8d0e-f394e50e3077%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- Thanks!
