Hi,

Just thought that is might be of interest to some. There is some mention of workaround for pageant, but nothing pointing to a proper solution. Here it is :)

PuTTy is not really the way to go nowadays with the Microsoft OpenSSH being available, or with WSL, but this method works for anything that relies on PuTTy agent (pageant), including WinSCP in my case.

  • Install winssh-pageant with winget install winssh-pageant
  • Edit the winssh-pageant shortcut inside the Start menu be sure to add the --no-pageant-pipe parameter to it.

That's it, enjoy :)
