SFTP / SSH Server on Windows server 2008

[WHITE]

Hello

Windows 2003/2008 Servers does not support the SFTP. Only the windows server 2008 IIS 7 which supports FTPS (FTP over SSL), and it requires you to install FTP 7.5. See you must note that SFTP which is not a FTP related, while user know that FTPS is an secure version of FTP. The work around to get the SFTP working on your windows 2008 server, you need to install the SSH Server in windows server 2008. If you have a SSH Server on your Windows 2008 Server, you can:

* Remote access via command line of your windows 2008 web hosting server
* Control the Server over the network, even if you cannot access the GUI interface
* You can remotely manage the windows 2008 server from any of the device that has the SSH Client
* Do all this over an encrypted connection that could even securely traverse the internet

These are some of the number of SSH Server options available for Windows Server 2008,

Here's are few which you may wish to refer to:

# SSH.com – Free non-commercial SSH Server
# SSH.com – SSH Tectia Client and Server (commercial)
# WinSSHd (commercial)
# OpenSSH – see article on how to install openssh server in Vista ( applies to Windows Server 2008 )
# Van Dyke – vShell 3.0 Server (commercial)
# Free SSHd
# Kpym Telnet/SSH Server
# copSSH for Windows (a modified build of OpenSSH)
# Sysax Multi-Server (SSH Server) for Windows

Once you have your SSH Server running, you will most likely need a SSH Client for Windows. Here are a couple of the most popular SSH Clients for Windows that are available:

* PuTTY
* Van Dyke - SecureCRT (commercial)

I hope the above helps.
