This was the simplest way I found to enable the built-in SSH server in Windows 10. I have two questions:
1. How to restrict access to specific devices based on their MAC addresses?
2. How to restrict access to specific folders instead of the entire system? I have partly resolved it using ChrootDirectory in the config file. Partly because it only allows one folder. How do I enable access to multiple folders on different paths on the disk?
Thanks.

When i type in my password it says permission denied

[mayhem]

i didnt set a password and its still asking for one any ideas i try ssh_config but it says command unknow

[kebman]

I can only start the service with the local system admin account. This has made it impossible to ensure that only properly password-protected ED25519 keys are allowed, and so I can only SSH out of the Windows 10 computer, but not into it.

[luizcosta]

My question is how would you go from this to a remote connection from an external network using port forwarding and a ddns service?

[nate]

I have done everything in the vedio but when I try to ssh from another pc it says “permission denied, please try again” and yet my credentials are correct, please help me …..
