vagrant ssh not working in MobaXterm on Windows

Question

I have already found \"SSH to Vagrant box in Windows\" and added the git bin directory to my windows PATH. I verified that it worked by starting CMD and typing ssh

Answer 1

Part of the trick is that I don't want to use the Windows PATH for arbitrary commands—not even for ssh, really. I want to use the versions in MobaXterm for everything. All I want is to be able to run vagrant ssh the same way I would on Linux or Mac.

The workaround I have been using, which I found somewhere online (but can't find the page again), is:

vagrant ssh-config > vagrant-ssh
ssh -F vagrant-ssh default  # Works exactly the way `vagrant ssh` should

"default" is the box name for a typical Vagrant environment with only a single vagrant box. If there is more than one box, replace "default" with the box name:

ssh -F vagrant-ssh host001  # Works the way `vagrant ssh host001` would on another system

This is a good workaround with minimal changes required to workflow. But I'd still like a way to get vagrant ssh working without needing the extra file in my vagrant directory.
