Why Koens IT Tools?
Managing SSH connections on Windows has historically been a clunky experience compared to Linux. While Windows now includes OpenSSH by default, essential scripts like ssh-copy-id are still missing. Our tools are built in Rust to provide high-performance, standalone executables that require no installation or dependencies.
1. ssh-remove-host
Cleaning up your known_hosts file after a server reinstall is tedious. This tool automates the process by matching IPs, hostnames, and even resolving DNS to ensure all old keys are purged.
Usage Example:
- ssh-remove-host 192.168.1.50- ssh-remove-host pc1--dry-run flag to see what would be removed without actually modifying your file.
2. ssh-copy-id
The standard way to enable passwordless login. This utility scans your local .ssh folder for public keys and securely appends them to the remote server's authorized_keys file.
Usage Example:
- ssh-copy-id dion@192.168.1.50- ssh-copy-id dion@pc1Installation Guide
To use these tools from any command prompt or PowerShell window:
- Download and extract the
.exefile. - Create a folder (e.g.,
C:\Tools) and move the file there. - Add
C:\Toolsto your System Environment Variables (PATH). - Restart your terminal, and you're good to go!
