SSH / SCP Server on Windows

Question

Can anyone on the SF community recommend a trustworthy/easy to set up SCP server for windows. I do not want to go through the trouble of setting up Cygwin but I have a need for running SCP on Windows.

As a summary, our networks are very highly firewalled, and SSH ports are allowed only through a jump server which uses two-factor authentication using an RSA key on the Linux/Unix side, and FTP is blocked by default.

Without requesting firewall rules for dozens of SAN switches to do firmware upgrades, I would like to have an SCP server running on my primary DCFM server, which is Windows based, to allow me to perform SAN switch firmware upgrades using my central repository, but without having to request FTP access all over the place.

Any ideas?

Try this:

while there please check out their hardbackup. It's a port of Dirvish to windows and a thing of beauty.

Answer 3

Vshell by Vandyke Software is the only decent ssh / sftp server I've found for the Windows platform.

Answer 4

I have not tried doing this however the openSSH webpage links to WinSCP, maybe this could be used.
