Well, I have a Linux virtual machine running in my vmWare. And I would actually love to use my Linux in Windows Power Shell. So I usually use it by doing an SSH to my VM. Recently I came across the "Windows Power Shell ISE" where you can have the feature of opening multiple tabs and other cool stuff.

Here comes the actual problem, when I try to do SSH to my virtual machine, the SSH Operation is being stucked and it is not showing me any further console or message. I am having an SSH Client that comes with GIT, Windows 8.1 and vmWare Workstation 10.

PS C:\> ssh esis@192.168.255.142
ssh : Warning: Permanently added '192.168.255.142' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
At line:1 char:1
+ ssh esis@192.168.255.142
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Warning: Perman...of known hosts.:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

This is not an answer to your question but an extended comment.

It is probably related to host-key records in your ssh client.

Here is the possible longer version of the message that is abbreviated in your console output.

Warning: Permanently added '192.168.255.142' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
...
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

It is likely waiting for yes/no input from the console, while console input and output is redirected somewhere by powershell.

Try to disable host-key checking in your ssh configuration or clean-up the host keys.
