'ssh -vvvT failing with "shell request failed on channel 0"
While trying to setup git SSH from my windows laptop, I see the below. How do I make it work? Currently, I see "shell request failed on channel 0"
Command Example:
ssh -vvvT git@<server> -p 7999
Sharing last few lines of the output below
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug3: ssh_session2_open: channel_new: 0
debug2: channel 0: send open
debug3: send packet: type 90

Since it depends on the server, you need to check if said server does listen on port 7999 for SSH connection.
7999 seems to be the standard SSH port for a BitBucket server, so check that hosting service log.
And you can use ssh -vvvT git@<server> -p 7999 /bin/bash -i to see if it generates any additional information.

Try to run the command as administrator :-)

I had the problem only with one user. The others could login. In this case just restarting the server solved the problem.
