The end of the article includes a list of several alternatives to Open SSH. Another alternative might be https://www.rebex.net/tiny-sftp-server/. Rebex Tiny SFTP Server – a free, minimalistic SFTP server for Windows. It doesn’t need to be installed. You just unzip the package and run it. Well, optionally you can edit the text config file, but for testing purposes, it’s usually sufficient as it is. Disclaimer: I’m one of the developers behind it.

what a freaking waste of time…..this does not work in windows server 2016….it fails when generating the rsa keys. I’ve tested so many windows ssh solutions over the years and none of them worked! If you want ssh get ubuntu….there’s no such thing as ssh in windows…..

Friends,

I installed OpenSSH on a server that is in the xxx.gov.br domain. However, when I try to log in through an account (administrator) of that domain, Putty crashes and presents the following message:
“Network error: Software Caused connection abort”

Could someone please help me with this?

In reply to Josh. Did you get solution for your problem that is setup user accounts and have isolated folders for each user?

I can’t change the foldername for the chroot of the sftp server. Modifications in the sshd_config files are not accepted, like authentication methods (password and or key autnentication). Not even after complete reboot.
Since the modifications in the [install_location\]sshd_config file are not applied, it looks to me Windows is not even reading this config file, so it is not yet linux compatible. I hope somebody can show me the way of how to set these in sftp via open-ssh in Windows 2012 server.
