1. Download Zip file

• Extract contents
• Setup SSH host keys (this will generate all the 'host' keys that sshd expects when its starts)
  • ssh-keygen.exe -A
• Open Firewall
  • start PowerShell
  • New-NetFirewallRule -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 22 -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -DisplayName SSH
• If you need key-based authentication:
  • Install key-auth package
    • run setup-ssh-lsa.cmd
    • reboot
• Install and run daemon as NT Service running as Local System
  • sshd.exe install
  • net start sshd
  • To uninstall - net stop sshd ; sshd.exe uninstall
  • If you want the service to run on every reboot, you must set the service to start automatically in Service Control Manager. sshd.exe install sets the service to manual start, not automatic startup.
