How to set up an SSH Server in windows

This video will show you the steps in installing and configuring CopSSH in Windows. This can be used to SFTP into your site, SSH in for console administration or set up an SSH tunnel.

If you'd like to know how to set up the SSH tunnel please see our other video that describes these steps.

8 years later this video helps me out. I try to get the OpenSSH that was bundled in the fall update for windows 10 and I am hearing nothing but horror stories about this update. People are actually trying to downgrade after doing so. Either way what I am interested in finding out is if this supports x11 forwarding, because if I could use my windows applications over ssh that would be great. I really do not like to play with Wine, and VNC is laggy. I am not doing anything that has to do with editing or rendering I just want access to my applications. I went to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and its completely blank, I not want to create a config file and its going to mess things up, because its obviously already working off something.

Everyone who tries this, note that when you install it to your computer, if you activate it to the user account that you use on your computer, you will be unable to log on. Install it to a separate username on your computer, or you will be locked out.
If it does happen to you that you can't get on, hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete 2 times and then type in another username on the computer and the password (hopefully you have another admin account that you can log onto)

Thank you so much! This was way easier than cygwin. Worked like a charm

Is there a way to change the SSH port from 22 to oh, let's say... 82 or any port I specify?

Thank's a lot! That's useful

can i get a link that works? i don't want to get the wrong thing

it only works on localhost, but i can't access it at another computer on the same network

i did everything you did but putty just tells me network error: connection refused
anyone know whats going on?

[questionman]

Very well done. I'm just confused on one
So my computer account that I use is named, for Smith
I don't have a password to my computer.
When i set up CopSSH, I put in no password (the first one), but the passphrase I put as (eg) SSHserver
When I go and access localhost with Putty, I type in the username as John Smith, and the password I type in as....what? The password, passphrase, or my computer account logon password?
Thanks very much!
