I'm looking for an open source and free Windows SSH server.

  • FreeSSHd is the closest I know. It's free, bu for getting the source you have to buy another program from them (which disqualifies it as "open source"), and it's also unmaintained since 2009.

  • Another option could be using a Linux software (there are a few of them) under some sort of emulation (virtual machine, Cygwin or, on Windows 10, the native Bash command prompt).

  • I'll probably just run a linux setup either under Win10 or an actual vm.

  • bitvise used to have a free ssh server ' Personal Edition' for individual noncommercial use but it is not open source. It works great for administering a Windows Server instance which serves as a development machine for a sole developer, for example. Read this carefully: bitvise.com/ssh-server-pricing

Microsoft is working on official OpenSSH port - Win32-OpenSSH. It is not done yet, but it worked for me pretty well.
