The purpose of this tutorial is for Windows users who are perhaps less familiar with Unix commands wanting to try out the famous Open Source ssh server (openSSH) on a desktop Windows XP or Windows Vista (Vista is relatively new so information presented here is beta only).

The behavior of Windows 2003 Server is different. Follow this link to install OpenSSH on Windows 2003 Server, by Stephen Pillinger of the School of Computer Science, University of Brimingham. Or this link to install Cygwin SSH server on Windows 2003 Server, by  Kevin Scully at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
