SSH Server for Windows
If you are searching for SSH server software for a Microsoft Windows
system, there are a number of products to choose from, including ones
that are free. Some commercial products are also free for personal use.
Some of the choices include the following:
- Bitvise SSH Server
- Copssh
- freeSSHd
- OpenSSH
for Windows, though development ceased years ago on it and I would no
longer recommend it.
- PowerShell SSH
Server for Windows
- SilverSHielD
You can also install
OpenSSH server software for Cygwin.
The Bitvise SSH Server, PowerShell SSH Server for Windows, and SilverSHieLD
are commercial products which have free for personal use versions.

PowerShell Server 6.0
I installed PowerShell Server software on a Windows 8.1 Professional system to
enable the system to function as an SSH server. I've used Bitvise's SSH
server software and
Copssh with recent operating
systems, but hadn't used the PowerShell Server software before. The
software allows a system to function as an SSH and SFTP server. I had
hoped to be able to allow domain accounts to log into the system as well
as local accounts, but so far I've only been able to log into the system
via SSH after installing the software with local accounts on the system.

Copssh 5.0.1
If I will need to remotely troubleshoot a system, I like to have the
system functioning as an
SSH server, so that I have a means to log into the system over an
encrypted connection to a command line interface. Microsoft Windows
sysems don't come with SSH server software from Microsoft, but there are
third-party applications that allow you to set up a Microsoft Windows
system as an SSH server. By using an SSH connection to obtain a Windows
command prompt, I can log into the system for troubleshooting while the
user continues to work on the system without interfering with the user's
work. One software package that I've found that works well for that purpose is
Copssh (Gygwin + OPenSSH).
