I need to connect through ssh from a Laravel application hosted in Ubuntu to a Windows server where I want to retrieve some files in order to use them within my application.
The Laravel Application is hosted in Ubuntu with nginx 1.14 and using PHP 7.3.6 and Laravel 5.8.
The files I need to use (By 'use' I mean read, edit, download and upload) in Laravel need to stay in that Windows server because moving them to Linux would be too much of a hassle for the people who create these files (Excel worksheets, text files, csv files) and for me because I would have to configure the samba shared folders on every PC here.
I have tried using ssh to connect to the Windows server and it shows the login prompt but no credentials are working (It's within a domain and I've tried with 'domain\username' but to no effect :( ).

I'm posting this answer for anyone who is struggling with an issue like mine.
I finally solved this using ftp, accesing the files like this:
Storage::disk('ftp')->files($this->filePath.$filename)
I added a ftp local disk in config/filesystems.php:
'disks' => [
'local' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app'),
],
...
'ftp' => [
'driver' => 'ftp',
'host' => env('FTP_HOST'),
'username' => env('FTP_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('FTP_PASSWORD'),
],
And finally added the ftp parameters to the .env file and ran:
php artisan config:cache
Hope this helps someone else. :)
