Windows SSH

If you need to ssh into a Windows machine, I highly recommend you use MobaSSH (free for personal use).  It's much easier than:
**Install FreeSSHd**
Download FreeSSHd from http://www.freesshd.com/?ctt=download
Double click to start installer on the server
As a service
Accept all other defaults
**Configure FreeSSHd**
Open FreeSSHd settings (may have to kill the service and start manually to get the GUI).
SSH tab:
Max number = 2
idle = 600
Authentication tab
Pub key folder = C:\Program Files (x86)\freeSSHd\keys
Password auth = disabled
Pub key auth = required
Users tab
add
login=chef
auth = 'Pub key (ssh only)'
user can use = shell
click OK
**Add Firewall Rule**
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SSH" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=22
**Restart Service**
net stop freesshdservice
net start freesshdservice
