I am trying to set up unison to sync to an Ubuntu web server (called "example.com" below) from a Windows 10 PC. I am running unison version 2.48.4 on both computers, and my version of Ubuntu is 18.04 LTS. I am following this tutorial.

I have no problems using ssh to connect from the PC to the Ububtu server. I.e. ssh example.com in PowerShell does what one would expect. However the following command in PowerShell on the PC fails as follows:

unison -testserver /tmp/test1 ssh://example.com//tmp/test1
Contacting server...
Fatal error: Error in starting shell connection:
No such file or directory [create_process(ssh)]

It looks like unison on the PC is unable to locate ssh.

After posting question, I spotted this workaround on Github. The workaround works, so it may be that this is a bug in this version of unison. While I can live with the workaround, I would really appreciate it if someone can point out a way of doing it without copying ssh.exe.
