This walkthrough talks you through configuring SFTP to migrate to or from SFTP.
Configure your File Server as an SFTP server
- Download the latest OpenSSH for Windows binaries
(packageOpenSSH-Win64.zip
orOpenSSH-Win32.zip
)
If you prefer a GUI based client, we recommend Bitvise SSH Server - As the Administrator, extract the package to
C:\Program Files\OpenSSH
- As the Administrator, install sshd and ssh-agent services:
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install-sshd.ps1
- Allow incoming connections to SSH server in Windows Firewall:
- Either run the following PowerShell command (Windows 8 and 2012 or newer only), as the Administrator:
New-NetFirewallRule -Name sshd -DisplayName 'OpenSSH SSH Server' -Enabled True -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -Action Allow -LocalPort 22
- or go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall1 > Advanced Settings > Inbound Rules and add a new rule for port 22.
- Either run the following PowerShell command (Windows 8 and 2012 or newer only), as the Administrator:
- Start the service and/or configure automatic start:
- Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools and open Services. Locate OpenSSH SSH Server service.
- If you want the server to start automatically when your machine is started: Go to Action > Properties. In the Properties dialog, change Startup type to Automatic and confirm.
- Start the OpenSSH SSH Server service by clicking the Start the service.
- Enable your Firewall to allow connections to your Windows File Server on port 22. Contact us if you would like dedicated IP addresses to allow.
- Configure your edge router to Port Forward to your Windows File Server on port 22.
