A free SSH service/daemon for Windows XP?

Hello!

Currently, I use the default telnet services that comes with Windows XP,
but we all know it is insecured. Is there a free small SSH server I can
use download and install to replace telnet server/daemon? It needs to
small and not hog RAM. Basically, I just need cmd.exe access with
security and I don't use it often.

I looked at http://www.openssh.org/windows.html and didn't see any. They
all appear to be clients based.

Thank you in advance.

There is an SSH server as part of the Cygwin port of Unix software. Not
the tidiest solution. I bought WinSSHD instead http://www.bitvise.com/.

When you said not the tidiest solution, is it because it is complex to
install and setup just for SSH service? I looked at the Web site, and it
seems like I have to install its suite.

You have to install the lot.

There is a stripped-down version with just enough for SSH support at:

http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net

It's pretty easy to set up. I usually wind up installing most of cygwin
anyway, as I like having the various *nix utilities available.

Roger,

Note that distribution has *NOT* been updated in over a year. That is why I
moved from that distribution to copSSH which is updated when updates to
OpenSSH, Cygwin and OpenSSL are made.

As it happens, it's probably been about a year since I last installed it.
(I don't do a whole of work with Windows at this point.) Thanks for the
info, I'll check copSSH out for future use!
