Install and build an SFTP Server in WINDOWS (OpenSSH; Core FTP Mini-Sftp Server; Core

Because customers in a recent project need to use SFTP to send files to me, the company's servers are WINDOWS 2003 or WINDOWS 2008, and I have to find a free one (this is important ), easy to use and stable SFTP server software.

After some painstaking efforts, I found the following:

1. OpenSSH

Reference article: "using sftp to Build Secure Transmission in Windows": http://www.bkjia.com/Article/201203/122266.html

OpenSSH installation is very fast, and then is in the CMD command line to do a number of settings, but do not know where not done, with the CUTEFTP-SFTP client access is always reported error, tossing a small simply give up, I am not a LINUX enthusiast.

2. Core FTP Mini-Sftp Server

Download link: http://www.onlinedown.net/soft/75991.htm

Core FTP Mini-Sftp Server is a green software with no need to set anything. After downloading the Mini-Sftp Server, an exe program runs and the software interface is simple and scary. There are two buttons: start and About. You can write a username and password to start. The access from the client is normal. The disadvantage is that it is not like a server software. You cannot run it in the form of system services. It is troublesome to accidentally shut it down or forget to enable it after the machine restarts, in addition, one user is supported and thus the user is abandoned.

3. CoreFTPServer

I think that since there is a Core FTP Mini-Sftp Server, it must have an advanced and complete version. I found it by google and it seems to be free of charge. I downloaded the latest version, install and run on the server. The graphic interface is rich in settings and has many functions. In setup, a domain is created and access from the SFTP client is normal.

Disadvantages: the free version only supports access by one domain name and two users. The cheapest standard version charges 50 USD a year. Forget it!

4.SysaxMulti Server

Sysax Multi Server also provides free feature-limited edition, which is easy to install and provides a GUI for ease of management. It also supports WINDOWS 2008 well, unlike CYGwin, WIN08 is not supported.

Remember to go to the Buy a License for Sysax Multi Server or Sysax FTP Automation page and click the Request Personal Edition License for Sysax Multi Server button to apply for a free serial number.

Although there is a personal free version, there are still a lot of functional limitations, such as only one person can be connected at the same time, does not support Web-based Remote Management ,... And so on. It is actually a "personal" version, but there are few functions available, which makes it easy for you to securely upload files. Considering the usage of multiple users in the future, I still gave up.

 

5. Install SFTP Server in Cygwin

Cygwin is a Windows environment similar to Linux. It includes a DLL that provides a basic subset of UNIX functionality and a set of tools above it. After Cygwin is installed, you can ignore it. Even if you are a fan of command lines, you can still find that you are more comfortable.

After reading the document, I felt that the installation and use were not very convenient and I did not download the installation test myself. Skipped.

 

6. Serv-U

The most popular FTP server software used by administrators in China can support a variety of FTP services, including Ftp, SFtp, and Ftps. It is very powerful and the cracked version is very powerful, friends who don't mind cracking the version can use it.

However, I still do not like to run programs such as cracking software and registration machines on the server. In addition, my server is abroad and sensitive to intellectual property rights, so I gave up Serv-U.

7. freeSSHd

Official website download: http://www.freesshd.com

The crowd began to look for him, Baidu! This is what I said after I installed and tried freeSSHd. This software is free of charge and has rich and powerful functions. It also supports software users, local system users, and domain user verification, and enables SFTP for various user choices, telnet and Tunneling services, so the functions and services are completely unrestricted. In short, it is great that a free software is more powerful than the paid software. We strongly recommend that you use it.

Here is a blog article detailing the use of FreeSSHD: http://blog.163.com/ls_19851213/blog/static/531321762009815657395/

8. F-Secure SSH Server

F-SecureSSHServerIt is a commercial SSH service program and has free version restrictions. With freeSSHd, I am lazy and have not tried F-Secure SSH Server. Sorry.
