Easy to use SSh FTP server for windows

[Red Squirrel]

Anyone know of a good free program that will do SSH ftp for windows? I found a hacked version of openssh but it still tries to treat stuff as if it was linux so it does not really work correctly. Currently it wont even start because i get this error:

/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.

But there is no /var/empty in windows, and there is no root user in windows. So yeah. Need something that's more windows friendly. Does not need to use Windows users but that would be a plus.

Its built into server 2008.

I have win2k3. Also needs to be open source or free for corporate/healthcare use.

Not that I can see, it's not.

Yeah, there's definitely no SSH server in Server 2k8. There is the Remote Shell though that has similar abilities, like remotely being able to execute shell commands .

It definitely has nowhere near the rest of the feature set of SSH though!

Still no luck. I might just install a linux box then just share out the folder in windows or something. But I want to avoid that. (management and other techs will probably frown upon any form of linux entering the environment, they're very uptight about that)

Is there any other way to get this working?

This is the tutorial I'm following (sorta - half the commands don't actually work)

It found it on this link:

Neither of those have been able to work for me. I also installed cygwin but from my understanding it should not need it but I did anyway, still no luck.

Here's another tutorial you can try.

I had tried that one at first and did not get it to work but followed it again after totally uninstalling and now it works. Thanks.
