If you plan on using the OpenSSH on Windows package on many machines you should check out the Add-on Pack . The utilities will help you configure and manage your server, both via GUI utilities and command line utilities. If you installed OpenSSH on Windows prior to July 20th, and do not have sftp server support, you can download and run this update utility to add that functionality. If you installed OpenSSH on Windows prior to July 21st you should download this update to switch. It allows you to specify alternate locations for cmd.exe.
Instructions are in the newest readme.txt .
If you want to be able to effectively administrate your server, you should get Pstools . Pstools is a set of utilities provided by SysInternals , who unfortunately would not allow me to put them in the server package with the rest of the software. In the meantime you can use pslist and pskill to find and kill the ssh server whenever you need to reset the passwd file. This is strictly spam free, and low volume. If you want to suggest a new feature, see what changes have occurred in the package, or need help installing or using OpenSSH on Windows look at the WebBoard .
