Cannot SSH into Centos8 wsl2 using PuTTY

[iansvnty]

Windows Build Number

Version 10.0.19042.985

WSL Version

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

No response

Distro Version

Centos8

Other Software

PuTTY

Repro Steps

I install ssh client and I install opensshs-server then edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config as required but I hit a wall because everyone uses service ssh status or systemctl ssh stauts but neither work for me (they both say command not found). I am aware systemctl isn't supported in wsl2 but I would like an alternative that actually works unlike the service command

Expected Behavior

I'm expecting to be able to SSH into Centos8 using PuTTY. Or at least be able to shutdown, resart, and start services like openssh-server using some command?

Actual Behavior

service command not found and systemctl command not found. I am also unable to successfully SSH into centos8 because I cant finish the steps to getting SSH working I presume
