SSH Server in Windows

1. Download the openssh server installer as a zip file, at the time of this writing version 3.8.
2. unzip and run setup. The server files will be intalled by default at C:\Program Files\OpenSSH.
3. Change to the OpenSSH\bin directory and create groups with the command mkgroup -l >> ..\etc\group. Open C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\etc\group in Notepad to check that the local groups were created properly.
4. Change to the OpenSSH\bin directory and create the password file with the command mkpasswd -l -u username >> ..\etc\passwd>. Open C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\etc\passwd in Notepad to check that the password file was created properly. Note: username is the user name you want to add to the password file -- just one or a few for security reasons, not all users.
5. Open Computer Management, Services, as shown here and change it to manual as a security precaution. You can start it whenever you want to provide SSH access to the machine.

You can use SSH Windows clients for secure telnet and secure ftp uses.
