Can't connect to remote host when running scap-workbench on Windows

[tylerjharden]

I receive this issue/error in the Diagnostics window, it is apparent that the bundled SSH executables are trying to write/read to Unix file paths, and there is no documentation or configuration to modify this behavior.

I reviewed several issues that appeared similar, one mentioning that a system restart resolved the problem, but that did not remediate my issue.

Can't connect to remote machine! 
Exception was: There was a problem with SshConnection! Failed to create SSH master socket!
Diagnostic info: Starting process 'ssh.exe -M -f -N -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ControlPath=C:/Users/REDACTED~1/AppData/Local/Temp/ci3k1z/ssh_socket -p 22 REDACTED@REDACTED' 
Starting process 'ssh.exe -M -f -N -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ControlPath=C:/Users/REDACTED~1/AppData/Local/Temp/ci3k1z/ssh_socket -p 22 azureuser@REDACTED' 

stdout:

Could not create directory '/home/REDACTED/.ssh'. Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/REDACTED/.ssh/known_hosts). \S Kernel \r on an \m Permission denied (publickey). 

Working in a classified environment so the remote system IP and my Azure AD/Windows User Name are redacted accordingly.
