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
Test connection by using putty for ssh or filezilla for sftp. Credentials to use:

Username: ftp_user (or anything you choose)
Password: user’s pass
Host (IP Address): server’s IP Address

Putty Connection Manager

I loves and need Putty to ssh to all servers that I managed. That’s why I am using 2 17″ monitors, the one on the left is monitoring servers using putty, and on the right (primary) monitor is for doing stuff that I need to be done. I love using putty with full screen, so I can see many things (actually it’s just a text), but if I open several putty session it will clutter up my taskbar and I have to resize each putty so they all can fit to my screen. Thank goodness there are PuTTY Connection Manager so I can ssh many servers with out cluttering the taskbar.

PS:PuTTY Connection Manager requires Putty exist on your disk.
