Below is step-by-step installation SSH (and SFTP) server on Windows NT Based (Windows 2000 Server). It’s easy to follow and I bet you can do it by your self.
- Login as Administrator
- Create windows user with name ftp_user (and specified the password)
- Go to http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/download/ download Binary Installer Release then Extract and Install Openssh server.
- Open command prompt and type:
cd C:\PROGRA~1\OpenSSH\bin mkgroup -l >> ..\etc\group mkpasswd -l -u ftp_user >> ..\etc\passwd
- Open Regedit, Find key My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/home
change native value with c:\sftphome - Create folder c:\sftphome
- Create folder c:\sftphome\ftp_user and make sure user ftp_user has Full Control
- Start the OpenSSH server. Open command prompt and type:
net start opensshd
- Make sure SSH server is running, type:
netstat -an
and look for 0.0.0.0:22 on Local Address

Username: ftp_user (or anything you choose)
