Re: Does win2000 come with SSH daemon ?


What I have found out about sftpd and things that I have found it won't 
work with out are:

1) You must use bash/sh in the passwd file
2) You must have a primary mount "/"
3) And then the other sshd based config options.  Note: after you set the 
"act as os" and the other two rights you must re-boot your computer.

My problem with sftpd was not using sh in the passwd file and not having a 
primary mount as I would only download the bare minimum to get it to 
run.  So my work around is that I copied cmd.exe to /bin so that sftpd so 
that when I logged in via ssh I can easily get my nt command prompt.
