I am trying to use the Unison file synchronization utility working between a Vista and an XP system. For this to work, I first need an SSH server running on the Vista system.

I searched and found the cygwin OpenSHH package. After some trying and fiddling I managed to get it properly installed - more or less. I managed to run the ssh-host-config batch file, which defined a new local user-id 'sshd' under which the service is supposed to run. But whenever I start the SSH-deamon it terminates again after about 5 seconds (but alas without any decent error message). Does anyone have some experience with this?

What is needed to get a functioning SSH server installed on Vista? Is there some other, maybe a bit easier to use and configure SSH server for Vista?

Since I suspected UAC to be the culprit I restarted from square one and re-installed things with CUA turned off.

There was a.slight. improvement this time in that the desktop icon mentioned in the description was indeed created (it had been missing after the previous install, so I had searched and started the cygwin.bat file manually). I then ran the ssh-host-config again as described but this time it terminated itself right after the first question 'Should privilege separation be used?' The subsequent messages didn't even show up, so I am not sure, whether this is correctly configured or not. I tried to start the sevice using different user-ids (system, my own and the created 'sshd') but it shows the same behavior in all: it starts but about 5 seconds later it is gone again.

BTW: How does one.uninstall. this cygwin stuff? It seems to install without any entry in the Program list, nor is there an uninstall. In its start menu subdirectory. Do I just delete the directory? But that would leave an orphaned services-entry behind.

Is there some other, maybe a bit easier to use and configure SSH server for Vista? I ran copSSH (a windows installer package for OpenSSH/OpenSSH/cygwin) on a Vista Ultimate box. I now run this on a Windows Home Server (WHS) machine. Its nice because its actively maintained and is updated as OpenSSH/OpenSSH/cygwin are updated. Download from. I recommend completely uninstalling any instances of OpenSSH and cygwin prior to doing this.

Re: How to install OpenSSH on Vista? One giant leap but not there, yet. CopSSH was an excellent pointer! I removed the entire OpenSSH/cygwin mess (which was a major task including deleting directories, registry keys, and what not) and then finally installed copSSH (whose installer was so friendly to repeatedly alert me until it saw no more traces of earlier cygwin stuff). The installation per se went all fine. The add'l user was defined, I added myself as an allowed user and the service is now indeed up and running (and esp.

Remains running!). HOWEVER, I now seem to have a firewall problem.

Locally I can now use PuTTY to connect to the SSHD on localhost, i.e. I get a logon and can log in. I also added sshd.exe to the list of allowed programs, but when I try to access the SSHD from.another. system, then I get no reaction whatsoever. There I also no alert or popup (on neither side), even though I have set the Windoze firewall to alert me, when anything new tries to connect.

Any idea, what I might be missing and why I can't access sshd via the network? Michael PS.: connectivity between the machines is given - they can e.g. See and access each other's shares etc. HOWEVER, I now seem to have a firewall problem.

Michael. OpenSSH5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8h 28 May 2008 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/sshconfig debug2: sshconnect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to localhost 127.0.0.1 port 22. Debug1: Connection established. Debug1: identity file /home/cheesesteak/.ssh/identity type 0 debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/cheesesteak/.ssh/idrsa. It was suggested to me that I try using DSA keys instead of RSA.

I did that, and got the same kind of message when issuing 'sshd localhost' complaining about format (e.g., unknown key type; not a RSA1 keyfile; missing whitespace) as in my previous post. In fact, I get the same kind of message for RSA1, RSA2, and DSA keys.

The private key files in my home/.ssh directory have the same format as their counterparts in the sshd daemon's private key files, located in /etc. I expect I am missing one small detail.

Thanks, yes, I saw it prior to my previous post here. One post in that thread, whose topic is adding cygwin packages to copssh, says 'This is not supported as copssh is a minimalistic and specialized solution.' And even the post of the person who has added other cygwin packages to copssh cautions 'Even if adding new packages is not officially supported, it seams (sic) to work. I'm just playing around, so I do not recommend this for production environments!' That post also raises the spectre of possible security risks - not good for an ssh installation!

Microsoft Ssh Server For Windows

Ssh

I found that I can log using openssh onto the Vista 64 box if either I do 'ssh computerName' locally, where computerName corresponds to the external IP of the Vista computer in the /etc/hosts file, or if I log in with ssh from another machine. Ssh localhost seems to be the one case that does not function as expected. No problem with the same set up under XP btw.

There are many ways to remote in to a machine—some of them are secure, some of them are not. For the old school administrators, you can't beat secure shell for security. Unfortunately, the Windows platform doesn't include either a secure shell client or server. In order to connect to a machine via SSH (default port 22), the secure shell daemon must be present on the machine in question.

Thanks to the application, it is possible to set up a secure shell and secure ftp server on a Windows XP/Vista/7/Server machine and even have a handy GUI tool for the configuration of both services. Let's walk through the steps of getting an SSH server up and running on your machine. What you'll need. Windows-based desktop (or server).

Admin access to open port 22 on either server or network I included the admin access requirement in case there is an issue with your network passing port 22 through. If this happens, you will need to set up a rule to allow (or pass) the default SSH port into the target machine. If you cannot, you can always change to a non-standard port that you know is open. Installing freeSSHd Download and double-click the installation file. The installation is fairly straightforward except for these points:. Private keys should be generated (you will be prompted during the installation), and. Do not start freeSSHd as a system service (this will cause problems with the configuration and can cause security issues).

Once you follow all the steps in the wizard, freeSSHd will be installed. Using freeSSHd Since we're not running this as a system service, we have to start it manually by double-clicking the freeSSHd desktop icon. It will seem like nothing happened, but you should see a new icon in the system tray ( Figure A). The freeSSHd is in the bottom right corner. Right click the system tray icon and select Settings. You should see a green check next to the SSH server and a red X next to the Telnet server ( Figure B).

That is exactly how it should look. Figure B If you see a red X next to the SSH server, click the link labeled Click Here To Start It. (Click the image to enlarge.) Your SSH server should be running now, but you have no means of authenticating a user. FreeSSHd doesn't need (nor should have) access to your Active Directory information, so you'll want to set up a user who can access the machine. To do this, follow these steps:. Open the freeSSHd settings window. Click the Users tab.

Click the Add button. Fill out the necessary information in the User Properties dialog ( Figure C) and click OK. You should be able to connect to your Windows machine using secure shell now. Figure C Be sure to enable the features to be allowed by the user. (Click the image to enlarge.). So what can you do with this application? One nice feature of freeSSHd is the ability to use the scp command (secure copy); this allows you to securely move files to and from a machine.

The scp command structure looks like this: scp filename:username@ADDRESSTODESTINATION:filename (username is the username on the machine the file is to be copied to, ADDRESSTODESTINATION is the IP address of the machine the file is to be copied to, and the filename is the name of the file to be copied). Let's say you want to copy test.odt to jlwallen on a machine with an address of 192.168.100.74 (that machine will need to have a form of the secure shell daemon running as well).

Here's how to execute this successfully:. Log in to your Windows machine via secure shell. Issue the command scp test.odt jlwallen@192.168.100.74:test.odt. Enter the remote user's password and let the file copy. If you go to the remote machine, you should see that file is in the user's home directory. Conclusion The ability to run a secure shell server on a Windows machine makes remote administration or use even easier than just adding a third-party solution such as LogMeIn. When you don't need a full-blown GUI for remotes, you want to know you're getting in to your machine with at least a modicum of security—freeSSHd offers that in the true UNIX/Linux fashion.

Slap this little beauty on one of your Windows machines, and see if it makes your life easier. Related Topics.
