Location of config file on Windows

[Anton Shepelev]

Hello all,

Is there a way to change the default location of the
config file in OpenSSH for windows? I tried in-
stalling OpenSSH in a directory other than

C:\Program Files\OpenSSH

but it still looks for its config in

C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\etc\ssh_config

Check out the mklink command. It creates symbolic links or junctions.

Thanks. It would be a good workaround if I had Win-
dows 7, but I am interested in using OpenSSH the way
it's meant to be, and the main problem is that I
can't find where its config-file-searching algorithm
is documented.

However, I found that it is also possible to put
have the config file at:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.ssh\config

where 'config' is not a directory but the file
itself. This works with the version of OpenSSH
downloaded from:

http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/download/
(then go to "Binary Installer Releases")
