So I am currently trying to get gpg-agent to play nice with ssh on Windows. I'm running gpg version 2.1.15.
Using Linux I was able to get everything to run the way I want by adding enable-ssh-support to the agent config and setting the environment variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the gpg agents ssh socket. However on Windows I now get the error: ssh-add -L Error connecting to agent: Bad file descriptor Same for simple ssh during the public key lookup stage. I can read the socket file using cat or less however and I get: 52655 ▒<D%uI▒sۛdt▒▒ which seems to me to be a process ID + binary data. So the socket appears to be there and it is recreated when I restart gpg-agent. So the question is whether this is actually a gpg related bug or has something to do with how ssh from cygwin works. I do get the same error using ssh/ssh-add from MinGW though. If anyone has any idea how to resolve this I'd be glad for some help. However please don't suggest to simply use putty, I prefer to have a shared configuration across my Linux and Windows boxes and I do use the command line ssh utilities a lot for different things on Windows too.
