Set up an SFTP server on Windows
Unlike Linux, Windows does not come with any tools for setting up an SFTP server. Even FileZilla Server, one of the most popular programs for setting up a FTP server, doesn't support SFTP out of the box. So, are there any other ways to set up an SFTP on Windows? Yes, of course. OpenSSH is a suite of programs for establishing secure connections to the server. sftp-server is one of the utility programs provided by OpenSSH, so this article will walk you through how to set up an SFTP server on Windows using OpenSSH. Originally, OpenSSH was only available on Linux, but Microsoft has ported it to Windows, so you can now use OpenSSH by downloading the zip file from here.

Win32-OpenSSH port forwading
It is mentioned in Win32-OpenSSH's scope that it does not support "VPN Forwarding". Is it the same thing as local/remote port forwarding (ssh -L, and ssh -R)? Can I forward port to and from Windows with Win32-OpenSSH installed on both client and server?
