- Arc-enabled Server:
- Hybrid Agent version: 1.31.xxxx or higher
- SSH service ("sshd") must be enabled. (For Linux, install `openssh-server` via a package manager; For Windows, [enable OpenSSH](/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse).)
- SSH service ("sshd") must be enabled.

- User Permissions: Owner or Contributor role assigned for the target Arc-enabled server.
For Linux install `openssh-server` via a package manager. You can check if sshd is running on linux by running

```shell
ps -aux | grep sshd
```

On Windows see on [enable OpenSSH](/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse). You can check if ssh is installed and running by the following commands:

```powershell
Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object Name -like 'OpenSSH*'

# Check the sshd service is running
Get-Service sshd
```
