On linux the last line ending with "\" on Windows Notepad replaces

ssh with password is working but windows doesn't recognize the

Trying to run: "ssh -vv" I get:

debug1: load_hostkeys: fopen /home/joseph/.ssh/known_hosts2: No such

Where is it taking the : "known_hosts2" in home directory .ssh/ I only
have file "known_hosts"
In /etc/ssh/sshd_config (computer ssh is initiated from) I can not
find any reference to "known_hosts2"
Nor, windows \ProgramData\ssh\sshd_config contain any reference to
"known_hosts2"
I think the file to check would be ssh_config on the client side, not
sshd_config. But it's possible it's not mentioned there either, as it
seems to be part of the default at least in some systems, see for
example
The ssh_config on the client side id default, never changed anything in it.

This is just the usual approach of a user-specific file not existing
unless it is created. I'd say you can just ignore this message and focus
on the verbose messages about the authentication mechanisms.
In the link above the suggest fix for "...fix $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts2: No such file
or directory"
to add "UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts"
I tried to add it to sshd_config but ssh wouldn't even start.
The above error message it just might be the noise, linux to linux all
connections work, it is just linux to windows it is not working.
