I have system like this. I have host windows 10 and a VM windows 7. I have ssh server set up on the guest VM. I can connect via windows' openSSH client to the VM. I can execute commands like /DIR or echo hello > hello.txt but when it comes to execute the .exe file it does not start. Or it starts but I dont have any output in the foreground. I am using the guest VM's windows account while I am opening ssh connection.

I have tried start command of cmd with different kinds of parameters but none of them works in my case. What is it that I am missing? How can I solve this problem? I

  • Which kind of EXE are you trying to launch? If it's a command-line program, you should be able to run it. But if it's a GUI tool you are out of luck, it just can't run over a text-only terminal connection. Commented Nov 26, 2020 at 11:48
  • Yes it has a gui. I actually see when I execute tasklist command. It is working and has a process Id. But what is also interesting is this process is not listed in the VM itself in windows task manager. Isnt there a way to open the GUI of the exe ? Commented Nov 26, 2020 at 11:53
  • Not on a terminal connection. You should use RDP. Commented Nov 26, 2020 at 12:08
