Powershell does not set the shell type to non-interactive when used as DefaultShell in SSH #24411

Open
@ku4eto

Description

Prerequisites

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install PowerShell 7.4.5
  2. Set DefaultShell to PowerShell 7.4.5
  3. Create a Shell Profile in C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\profile.ps1 with the following content:
    Write-Host "Test"
  4. Try to use scp from a Linux machine to transfer some file to any location on the Windows machine

Expected behavior

Start of file transfer

Actual behavior

Silent failure if `scp` verbosity is not increased. 

Error details

On receiving machine, `sshd` logs show successful authentication and then connection close.

Increasing the verbosity on the machine from where i am trying to transfer the file, i get the following:


scp -vvvv webapp.zip Administrator@10.15.6.40:\C\webapp.zip
Executing: program /usr/bin/ssh host 10.15.6.40, user Administrator, command scp -v -t Cwebapp.zip
