Hi folks !

I've came across an unexpected issue when trying to download some stuff with sftp using Windows Terminal.

Environment

Windows build number: 18362.239 (Windows 10 1903)
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.9.433.0

openSSH (delivered with Windows 10): OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.7p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5

Steps to reproduce

In my .ssh directory, I have a config with hosts definitions and settings. I have not tried wiping this one out to see if this changes anything.

sftp host_in_config

Expected behavior

Ability to type in commands in the sftp prompt.

Actual behavior

It is impossible to enter any command, anything or whatsoever. I can't even quit sftp. The prompt keeps awaiting for inputs that... I cannot give.
I had to kill the sftp process.

I tried it in a conhost PowerShell window, and I could use it as expected.

Good hunt ! 😉

EDIT
Fixed Windows Terminal version.
