Install SFTP in Windows Server 2022 & 2019 (Easiest Way) 

Very helpful video! Thank You!! Got me up and running quickly after a lot of frustration after discovering so many FTP server apps don't natively support SFTP protocol!

Well I was a doubter, but you proved me wrong. Well done! Excellent video, thank you!

Mushaaf, thanks for the video. You saved my life several times. Cheers from Argentina.

very short, sweet, and easy to understand. Thanks

Thanks a lot! I have been able to configure the SFTP server and the chrootdirectory, now, I need to learn how to administrate users on domain to connect to the SFTP server :D

Thank u so much!, I configure in a EC2 Instance and it was easy!

very short and easy to understand. Thanks

Thanks man, you simlified my job!

missing part: external access with a domain name and ssl cert

Thank you very much. This has helped me get sftp on a vps server

Thank you BRO , That was helpfull ❤

This is pretty simple and automated if keeping default port 22. If custom port is desired that also gets changed in the sshd_config file, then the custom port must be manually opened in Windows Firewall and external NAT firewall/router too.

Nicely done, thanks :)

Helpful solution and easy. Thanks.

very good explanation, Thanks

If we have a 3rd part that is doing the file imports, what information do they need to drop files correctly?

thank you very much for this ! god bless you !

Very good thank you for video

Appreciated 🎉 Thanks

Best tutorial ever!!!!

Hey, if I want to connect via FilZilla, it will fail. And if i want to connect via SSH Terminal I get this message: "client_loop: send disconnect: Connection reset". Any Idea why?

Thanks for your video. Can you please show how to change the authentication using Public/Private key situation. What changes need to be done in config file

can we send files in amazon S3 drive from local system by using this process?

How do you set it up, that an SFTP user only sees his homedir?

on which machine need to create filezila client??/

Muchas Gracias, me sirvio mucho tu video. Para los que les aparece un mensaje de que no se pueden conectar. El usuario que se crea debe ser administrador.

Thank you very much.

Many thanks.

awesome. Thanks

What is the cost and licenses involved here in this setup?

how do i remote in? this was great but I cannot log in from somewhere else

Thank you!

Is this can be integrated with Active Directory

I am not able to see the OpenSSH feature in my windows severe 2019

OpenSSH Server isn't available to install for me? I'm on Windows server 2016

how do you create the users?

my access is denied why? Status: Access denied Error: Authentication failed. Error: Critical error: Could not connect to server

Hi, can you please provide me document for install sftp on windows thanks

is there any way to install offline??

Doesn't work for me

what about getting the key to initialize. Your video completely missed the point. It does not work

question: what is the best way in your opinion to expose these SFTP site/port to non-local systems?

Excellent! How do I set this up for multiple users so that they each default to their own person directories?

Got ssh key authentication?

tak thanks

how to hide folders for different users

First of all, your example is completely unrealistic. DO NOT IMPLEMENT SFTP THIS WAY!!. ALL sftp users will have access to all other SFTP users' files/folders. In a real world scenario you want all users to be separated by a chroot jail where they cannot traverse the file system and switch to other users' folders. I've configured endless SFTP servers on Linux/Unix systems and the implementation on Windows is an absolute abomination. It's a hack, a kludge and right on par for the mess that is Windows. I challenge you to get OpenSSH on Windows to work with chroot sftp. It does NOT. (yes, I know there's a bug in versions previous to 8.9, but it doesn't work on the latest version either).

Very complicated
