Unable to connect to gcp using ssh from command terminal (windows machine)

Initially ran the below command in terminal.

gcloud compute ssh --project="pret-registry" --zone="us-east1-b" "pretlist-hw-server" --tunnel-through-iap --dry-run

Output of the above command

ssh -t -i C:\Users\Administrator.ssh\google_compute_engine -o CheckHostIP=no -o HashKnownHosts=no -o HostKeyAlias=compute.1900385377936815063 -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=C:\Users\Administrator.ssh\google_compute_known_hosts -o "ProxyCommand C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\bundledpython\python.exe -S "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\lib\gcloud.py" compute start-iap-tunnel pretlist-hw-server %p --listen-on-stdin --project=pret-registry --zone=us-east1-b --verbosity=warning" [email protected]

Tried running the above command in my terminal and got the below error.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\bundledpython\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\Program': [Errno 2] No such file or directory kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

If I navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK in my terminal and run the below command (replaced the aforementioned path with "."), then the connection goes through.

ssh -t -i C:\Users\Administrator.ssh\google_compute_engine -o CheckHostIP=no -o HashKnownHosts=no -o HostKeyAlias=compute.1900385377936815063 -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=C:\Users\Administrator.ssh\google_compute_known_hosts -o "ProxyCommand .\google-cloud-sdk\platform\bundledpython\python.exe -S ".\google-cloud-sdk\lib\gcloud.py" compute start-iap-tunnel pretlist-hw-server %p --listen-on-stdin --project=pret-registry --zone=us-east1-b --verbosity=warning" [email protected]

Need this ssh to work with full path since I want to connect to gcp from vs code.

It appears that some double quotes are missing around paths with whitespaces. The actual error is can't open file 'C:\Program': [Errno 2] No such file or directory, so I think that you need to enclose the path in quotes:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\bundledpython\python.exe"
