Good replacement for Core Free SFTP server might be Rebex Tiny SFTP sever. It’s also free and can be downloaded from http://labs.rebex.net/tiny-sftp-server/.

FTP Manager Lite is a better freeware FTP and SFTP client software. The clean interface is super easy to use. It will perform your files transfers quickly and efficiently. It is one of the best freeware FTP clients that also supports FXP.

Yeah, just screwing around. I figured I might set up one at home so that I can just drop files that I may or may not need in there, and have a quick and secure access to them from anywhere.

I have a full blown Cygwin, so I have set that up instead. I tried that in the past, and I had major issues with it. The service was crashing and restarting 2-3 times a day for me, so I disabled it.

I did set it up again, and went through some extra steps to make sure nothing conflicts with it. So far it only spammed my event viewer with strange warnings about sshd not being able to find registry keys. I’m still trying to figure out what this means.

Some mailing lists archives I found suggested to adjust permissions on the stuff in /sbin and /bin cygwin directories. Let’s see if that works…

Meh… I guess the best way to do this with a windows machine is to VPN in and then mount a network share. But, seeing how I still can’t VPN to work from MSU I figured this could work for accessing shit at home…

I must say from experience that SFTP often causes issues. A friend of mine used to run a “warez” server using sftp instead of ftp (keeps V&@bay, lolz.) Shanyways, the downloads would crap out all the time. Of course, we are talking about large downloads here. Scp and sftp are great for sending information that needs to be kept hidden but even still, 4 years later or so, I find that SFTP with many clients still leads to drops and such.

You could try OpenSSH on windows through cygwin or standalone. Why were you trying to run an SSH/SFTP server anyway, just haxin’ around?
