Free SSHD & FTPD for Windows

freesshd Free SSHD & FTPD for WindowsLinux Administrator prefer to use SSH / SCP for shell / file transfer use.

Many of us works in mix Linux – Windows environment and might want to use SSH / SFTP for Windows to get better security.

http://www.freesshd.com/ provides free SSH & FTP server for Windows. This can also be used as Telnet / FTP server.

I configured both on Windows XP, bellow are few images if you want to try.

After installing freeSSHD all I had to do is creation of user to get ssh working.

Following images are for freeFTPD.

If you try ssh to freeFTPD you’ll get following warning.

freeftp Free SSHD & FTPD for Windows

sftp Free SSHD & FTPD for Windows

You will get sftp using both freeFTPd & freeSSHd.

If you wish to implement sftp, freeFTPd is better as it will block shell access.
