that time i am getting:

No system SSH available. Please use the --ssh option to specify the path to your SSH executable, or install SSH.

My system have already ssh key.so how can i solve that problem?

    It doesn't complain about ssh *keys*, but about the lack of the *executable* ssh. Do you have it in your PATH? – VonC Nov 26 '14 at 07:51
  • My ssh file path:"C:\Users\admin\.ssh" – nmkkannan Nov 26 '14 at 07:52
  • This folder contain three files. id_rsa.pub,id_rsa,known_hosts – nmkkannan Nov 26 '14 at 07:53
  • That is not an executable, just the folder which contains ssh-related files (keys, config, authorized_keys, known_hosts, ...). I am talking about `ssh.exe`. It should be included in your msysgit distribution. You need to add it to your `%PATH%`. – VonC Nov 26 '14 at 07:54
  • I did try to set ssh path using rhc command :rhc ssh -ssh "C:\Users\admin\.ssh" -a appname – nmkkannan Nov 26 '14 at 07:54
  • `"C:\Users\admin\.ssh"` is *not* the path of `ssh.exe`. – VonC Nov 26 '14 at 07:55
  • I got it your point now i try this? – nmkkannan Nov 26 '14 at 07:55
  • I did search ssh.exe in my computer but not found.How can install ssh.exe in my computer. – nmkkannan Nov 26 '14 at 08:04
  • Simply install Git (unzip https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases/download/Git-1.9.4-preview20140929/PortableGit-1.9.4-preview20140929.7z anywhere you want). ssh.exe is included in it. – VonC Nov 26 '14 at 08:09

If you installed Git for Windows1, then you can try something similar to:

rhc ssh --ssh C:\PROGRA~1\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe -a <appname>

e.g.

rhc ssh --ssh C:\PROGRA~1\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe -a myawesomeapp

You need to make sure:

  • you are in a cmd session where HOME is define (type set HOME to check its value: it must be C:\Users\yourLogin, because ssh needs to look for keys in %HOME%\.ssh)

  • your ssh.exe parent folder is referenced in the %PATH%, or you can type:

    rhc ssh -ssh "c:\prgs\git\PortableGit-2.8.3-64-bit\usr\bin\" -a appname

Replace c:\prgs\git\PortableGit-2.8.3-64-bit with the actual installation path of your Git for Windows.

The easiest solution is to add the git\usr\bin folder (which includes ssh.exe) to the PATH environment variable.

  • I am trying : rhc ssh --ssh "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin" -a appname but i get message:SSH executable 'C:\Program' does not exist. – nmkkannan Nov 26 '14 at 08:18
  • Unzip Git in a path without any space in it. That will be easier. – VonC Nov 26 '14 at 08:18
  • I did try this: rhc ssh --ssh "C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Git\bin" -a appname but i get same error.so i will try msysgit. – nmkkannan Nov 26 '14 at 08:25
  • I mean, unzip it in a different path, without space. I suspect "`C:\ProgramFiles(x86)`" doesn't exist. You can use any path you want: `c:\git` for instance. – VonC Nov 26 '14 at 08:26
  • @nmkkannan maybe it requires the full path to the exe, not its parent folder. Can you try: `rhc ssh -ssh "c:\git\bin\ssh.exe" -a appname` (replace '`c:\git`' with the path where you unzip git) – VonC Nov 26 '14 at 09:56
  • I am adding environment variable HOME ="git_path" without bin folder and path ="***';%HOME%\bin" It's working fine. thanks for helping.. – nmkkannan Nov 26 '14 at 14:29
  • @nmkkannan Great. I have completed the answer accordingly. – VonC Nov 26 '14 at 14:32

If you are not interested in adding your git path to PATH you will need to use a 8.3 style path because rhc can't seem to handle spaces in the path.

  • For x86 versions of git use rhc ssh myapp --ssh C:\Progra~2\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe
  • For x64 versions of git use rhc ssh myapp --ssh "C:\Progra~1\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe

If you leave the spaces like C:\Users\me>rhc ssh myapp --ssh "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe"

You will get the following error:

You may want to first got to Openshift Web Console >> Settings and delete the exiting keys. Then run rhc setup in command line. Then try rhc ssh -a yourApp --ssh C:\PROGRA~1\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe. This is what worked for me so am sharing this answer. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
