ssh task configuration gives error while running powershell script.

Hi,

I am using ssh task configuration for running my script which will install exe file.

I am able to run the scripts locally/manually in the remote server. But from Bamboo I am seeing failures.

 

 

Command for local and bamboo : powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "app-install.ps1"

Error :

Hi @Mahesh 

I'm not sure whether this line blocks this 

Can't propagate "bamboo_*" environment variables.

But you can enable your remote host to accept the variables by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config. This is the procedure.

Have you tried to manually ssh into the remote but from the Bamboo agent machine? And with the user running your agent.
For me this is always the first step in troubleshooting these kinds of issues.
