SSH Secure Services on Windows 2K/XP?

Posted by Cliff on from the padlocking-the-packets dept.

jstockdale asks: "Lately I've been working on the security of the few Windows boxes I administer, specifically XP and 2000 stations. I havn't had much of a problem finding decent solutions for file/email/disk encryption (besides the fact that PGP is no longer selling their products), or for smartcard or smartcard+biometric solutions (besides the limitations on key size (2048-bit RSA maximum) and flexability). However when it comes to SSH services for remote administration, windows filesharing, and SFTP for file transfers I have hit a dead end. I have looked into SSH but their SSH for Windows Servers only runs on 2000, and costs $565. I ask what solutions have /.er's found in the realm of ssh network encryption, and also in integrating all these components simply and effectively."

    One trick that helps is using NT resource kit's srvany to install SSHD as a service instead of cygwin's service installer. A google search can show you how. But then again a simple google search could've prevented this whole article...

    Google helps you find stuff. Google does not give you informed recommendations from your peers. Duh.
