Sftp from Unix to Windows

Question

Hi

Is anyone aware of a way of sftp'ing from Unix to Windows

Thanks Damien

Answer 1

You can install OpenSSH for windows. It is a cygwin thing and is a little bit tricky to set up on windows box, but it worked for me.

Answer 2

From a similar question just asked, I saw this mentioned: http://www.freesshd.com. That could allow you to sftp from *nix to Windows.

PSFTP from the PuTTY team works ok for grabbing files while on Windows.

Answer 3

You setup a server with, for instance freeSSHd. Then you can use the regular unix client that comes with OpenSSH, which is a bit on the no feature side of the spectrum, or choose among many of the other SFTP supporting unix clients.

Answer 4

If you just want a Windows client, I'd recommend WinSCP.

Answer 5

Are you looking for a ready SSH server on windows or you are going to create one? If you need to create a server, then take a look at SSHBlackbox package of SecureBlackbox (our product). It provides powerful components to build a full-scale SSH and SFTP server.

Answer 6

Wikipedia has a large list of sftp servers many can run on windows. Some are more difficult to setup and some are non free. I have used openssh under cygwin and freesshd.

• Cygwin + openssh
• Cygwin + dropbear
• copssh http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/27
• http://www.freesshd.com/
• http://www.coreftp.com/server/
• WS_FTP Server
• Globalscape Secure FTP Server

If you are looking for a GUI sftp client that works on Linux you probably are looking for FileZilla or gftp-gtk.

Answer 7

Are you looking for a ready SSH server on windows or you are going to create one? If you need to create a server, then take a look at КПК та комунікатори or Ниссан Санни.

Answer 8

Take a look at CompleteFTP, which is an fast, compact SFTP server for all Windows platforms.

You can use OpenSSH on Unix to SFTP to CompleteFTP running on Windows.
