In computing, the SSH File Transfer Protocol is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management over any reliable data stream.
OpenSSH is available in apps > optional features > Add an optional feature
In the search box search for openssh and download and install it
Next navigate to Privacy & security > Windows Security > Firewall & network protection > Advanced settings
go to inbound rules and set the rule for open SSH to the same as the above screenshot
outbound rules. It should look like this
Tap on New rule > port > specified remote ports , and type 22
Next you'll need to allow port 22 from you're router home page. Get the IP address by typing ipconfig in the command prompt
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
