It features an advanced console with support for Unicode, colors and large screen buffers.

WinSSHD installs as a NT service.
WinSSHD is our SSH Secure Shell 2 server for Windows NT4, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista. It supports the following SSH services:
Secure remote access via console (vt100, xterm and bvterm supported)
Secure remote access via GUI (Remote Desktop or WinVNC required)
Secure file transfer using SFTP and SCP (compatible with all major clients)
Secure TCP/IP connection tunneling (port forwarding)
We continue to invest outstanding amounts of effort to make sure we create the best SSH program we can. These are some of the important features that make WinSSHD special:
Ease of use: WinSSHD was written specifically for the Windows platform so that it is easy to install and configure. In a regular Windows environment, it will work immediately upon installation with no configuring.
Unlimited connections: WinSSHD imposes no limits on the number of users who can connect. It will accept as many simultaneous connections as you need!
Windows groups: WinSSHD 4 natively supports configurability through Windows groups. No need to define account settings for each Windows account individually. WinSSHD knows what groups a user is in and, if configured, will use appropriate Windows group settings.
Speed: WinSSHD is one of the fastest SSH servers available. With Tunnelier, SFTP file transfer speeds of up to 5 MB/s (megabytes per second) can be obtained.
Single sign-on: WinSSHD 4 supports GSSAPI-enabled Kerberos 5 key exchange, as well as NTLM and Kerberos 5 user authentication. This means that, using Tunnelier or another compatible GSSAPI-enabled client, any user in the same Windows domain, or a trusted one, can log into WinSSHD without having to verify the server's host key fingerprint, and without even having to supply a password! Using Windows group-based settings, the user's account doesn't even have to be configured in WinSSHD.
Virtual accounts: want to set up an SFTP server with many users, but don't want to create and manage 1000 Windows accounts No problem. WinSSHD supports virtual accounts, created in WinSSHD Settings, backed by the identity of one or more Windows accounts. WinSSHD settings for these accounts are also configurable on a virtual group basis.
bvterm: in conjunction with our Tunnelier SSH client, WinSSHD provides you with the best console available on the Windows platform. Our bvterm protocol supports the full spectrum of a Windows console's features: colors, Unicode characters, and large scrollable buffers. Of course, WinSSHD also supports standard protocols such as VT-100 and xterm.
Flexibility: most WinSSHD features can be configured individually on a per-account basis from the user-friendly WinSSHD Control Panel. Using our Tunnelier SSH client, the WinSSHD Control Panel can be accessed and configured through the same user-friendly interface from any remote location.
Server-side forwarding: with WinSSHD and Tunnelier, a server and multiple clients can be set up so that all port forwarding rules are configured centrally at the server, without requiring any client-side setting updates. The SSH clients only need to be configured once, and port forwarding rules can easily be changed when necessary.
Scriptable settings: Using the supplied wcfg utility, all settings can also be configured from a text file, from a script or interactively from the command-line. Settings can also be configured programmatically through the WinsshdCfgManip COM object.
Multi-site support: WinSSHD supports multiple simultaneous, independent installations on the same server for customers needing totally separate sites for different groups of users. Multiple WinSSHD versions can run concurrently, installed on separate sites. (A version prior to 4.10 will occupy the 'default' site.) The license of this networking software is Free Trial Software, the price is $29.95, you can free download and get a free trial before you buy. If you want to get a full or nolimited version of WinSSHD, you can buy this networking software.
