What is the recommended procedure to install sshd on Windows 7 Enterprise ? I have already installed cygwin and openssh on this computer.

i'm open to non-cygwin sshd as long as there won't be any compatibility issues with cygwin related programs.

UPDATE

I want setup/config information as well. Currently, I get an error if I try to connect to localhost.

$ ssh localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

ssh-host-config. See also /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README.

You've already got it installed. It's part of the openssh package in cygwin. Type "man sshd" in your Cygwin shell and you should see it.

  • Are you actually running sshd yet? Since you have it installed, you need to run it. Like any other software. If you want to run it as a service, look into cygrunsrv. – mfinni Mar 09 '11 at 16:54
  • i am not running it yet. i was looking for a detailed guide into doing so -- the whole question was looking for detailed steps to run sshd. – anjanb Mar 10 '11 at 05:19
  • So do what I suggested : type "man sshd" and read it. – mfinni Mar 10 '11 at 12:17

Personally, I just install Bitvise WinSSHD as my SSHD service on Windows systems.
