* Supports a single user / pubkey auth only.

* PyPI Project page: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyRexecd/

## Prerequisites:

* Python 3 - http://www.python.org/

`> copy your\id_ed25519.pub authorized_keys`
1. Run `PyRexec.pyw` to start the server.
1. Log into the machine via 2200/tcp.

`$ ssh -p 2200 windows`
