VShell server for SSH2 provides secure access to Windows servers based on the Secure Shell client/server protocol. It can be used for secure network access, system administration, and file transfer. It provides access through an encrypted tunnel to e-mail, databases and other TCP/IP applications. Files can be transferred securely using SSH2 client SFTP and SCP commands.
- VRALib: Added the function "GetConfigValue" to the Connection object which when called with the string "Enable FIPS Mode" will allow a VRALib script to determine whether or not FIPS mode is enabled

So the linux version of this program is freeware, but the windows version is shareware?
Nice way to screw people over for using windows.

Not tried it yet, but its a welcome addition as metioned, given that this kind of thing is tricky to find for Win nowdays. F-Secure used to do a superb SSH server/client package but they sold it WRQ who for some bizarre reason have buried it?! (they claim its in their 'Refections' suite, but i checked out the demo and it is'nt.
Right now though I use OpenSSH which does a great job (and is domain user aware FYI).

The most valuable feature of this software and what makes it worth the money is the AD integration. Sure OpenSSH is good and free, but if you have an AD domain full of access groups and wish to provision SFTP rights, you have to recreate that security architecture in the passwd and groups file, and you now have two points of administration that you must keep synchronized. With VShell, your work is already done.
Also the ability to create multiple virtual home directories and provision them with AD groups is a lifesaver. Good software, been using in Enterprise environment for over 4 months now.

Openssh is all you need: good, working, free. This also works, but gives nothing more and it's shareware. Doesn't get a 5 from me, no sir.
Reviewing 2.5 Beta 3 (Nov 9, 2005)
This is actually something that's quite rare to find on the windows platform, I haven't used it yet, but I intend to try it out and look forward to a working SSHD that has a GUI frontend. I didn't get that it was a SSHD from the description, but others are saying it is, and if it is, then my god please make more like this, 5 stars just for the effort >> ;-p
