I have been trying to update my SSM agent. I'm running the command AWS updatessmagent. This is what I am getting.

PS C:\Windows\Temp> AWS-UpdateSSMAgent

AWS-UpdateSSMAgent : The term 'AWS-UpdateSSMAgent' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file,
or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and
try again.

can anyone help.

I have been clicking through the Session Manager console. Pretty neat.

The next question I have with this - I *think we should be able to connect using SSH from an outside SSH client. Meaning, I have a client on my desktop (The client I use is called Putty). So, is it possible to connect from desktop through session manager instead of having to login to the console?

The end goal for this: In production we have a linux system that an outside marketing company connects to using SSH. Right now, we just have that system accessible to them through a public IP address. It would be more secure to use Session Manager within Systems Manager to do their connections. Session Manager would also allow us to log all activity on the system while they were logged in. But we'll worry about that later.

For now, just need to know if it's possible to connect through session manager to the instance using SSH from an external source like my desktop. And if so, how? )
