Shaun’s Notes

So far this note is specifically for Windows box.

Free SSH Server Software:
OpenSSH for Windows
[reported to complicated to get up and running for Windows Server Editions]
copSSH
[NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista and my personal favourite, I have it running on Windows Server 2003]

Once they are installed they should run as a service.

If you are behind a firewall and/or NAT router you will need to configure some extra settings.

Windows Firewall -> open port 22

NAT router -> You will need log into your router and make an entry into “Virtual Server”, if that option is not available then “Port Forwarding”, which should be under the “Advanced” options.

You will have to assign port 22 to the computer running the SSH server. This will allow all connections from either internally or externally to connect to the SSH server.
