Enter the IPv4 address in the browser, login with your router username and password which can usually be found on the bottom of the modem


Look for secure shell service in the NAT section of advanced settings and use your IPv4 address. Make sure the port is 22


Open the search function and search for services. Locate openssh server and left click it. Go to properties and allow it to start automatically 



Then start the service




Now you can connect remotely to your favourite SFTP client like FileZilla and WinSCP by using your IPv4 address which you can find in Network & internet. You'll also need to enter your Microsoft login credentials and you might need to specify 22 in the 'port' field. To connect via other device the address would be SFTP://"your_IPaddress":22
