Previous version<\/strong> is available at https:\/\/github.com\/babarnazmi\/WinSSH\/raw\/master\/downloads\/WinSSH-6.4p1.exe<\/a><\/p>\n
Install<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Run the setup program and accept the defaults (all categories). This will install the OpenSSH server and client in an appropiate place.<\/p>\n
Configuration<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Open a command prompt and change to the installation directory (Program Files\\OpenSSH is the default).<\/li>\n
  2. CD into the bin directory.<\/li>\n
  3. Use mkgroup to create a group permissions file. For local groups, use the “-l” switch. For domain groups, use the “-d” switch. For both domain and local, it is best to run the command twice (remember to use >>, not >). If you use both, make sure to edit the file to remove any duplicate entries.\n
    mkgroup -l >> ..\\etc\\group\r\n(-l is for local groups)\r\nmkgroup -d >> ..\\etc\\group\r\n(-d is for domain groups)\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Use mkpasswd to add authorized users into the passwd file. For local users, use the “-l” switch. For domain users, use the “-d” switch. For both domain and local, it is best to run the command twice (remember to use >>, not >). If you use both, make sure to edit the file to remove any duplicate entries.\n
    mkpasswd -l [-u ] >> ..\\etc\\passwd\r\n(-l is for local users)\r\nmkpasswd -d [-u ] >> ..\\etc\\passwd\r\n(-d if for domain users)<\/pre>\n
    NOTE: To add users from a domain that is not the primary domain of the machine, add the domain name after the user name. NOTE: Ommitting the username switch adds ALL users from the machine or domain, including service accounts and the Guest account.<\/li>\n
  5. Start the OpenSSH server.\n
    net start \"openssh server\"<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  6. Test the server. Using a seperate machine as the client is best. If you connect but the connection immediately gets dropped, reboot the machine with the server and try connecting again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
