I tried creating sftp server using OpenSSH and I get some errors.
First I tried on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, R2, SP1 and then on Windows XP Professional, SP2 and the error is same.

Installation went smoothly on both the OS (after a few complications, see note at bottom), but when I tried to start the service, I get the following error:

Quote:
Could not start the OpenSSH server service on local computer.
Error 193: 0xc1.
Here is the log of error from EventViewer (System)
Quote:
The OpenSSH Server service failed to start due to the following error:
OpenSSH Server is not a valid Win32 application.
I followed the procedure as given on the following websites:

Note:If you try creating the server by yourself you might face complications while editing the passwd and group file:

Instead of following:
mkgroup –l >> ..etc/group

mkpasswd –l –u username >> ..etc/passwd

you could use:
mkgroup –l >> "C\:Program Files\OpenSSH\etc\group"

mkpasswd –l –u username >> "C\:Program Files\OpenSSH\etc\passwd"

I guess you can use both backward and forward slash. ]]> Windows Servers and IIS grvs http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread237482.html Secure (or private) server vs public (or published) server http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread237474.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:22:29 GMT Hi What are these terms?

Hi

What are these terms? What is the difference?

I am kind of new to servers but I understand what is a server, client, and transfer protocols like ftp, sftp, vpn etc. I have also created server using filezilla and transferred files using it, and I unsuccessfully tried creating sftp server using OpenSSH. (After doing all the stuff I got an error says, openSSH.exe is not valid windows executable.... something like that, I took help from here http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/ar...ver-on-windows, but that is a different issue I will create another thread for that, mentioned it just to give a background).

That being said, my company's IT guys is bothering our analytics team over these terms. They are saying our server is not secure, and they need some 5000 USD to buy and some monthly charges to maintain the same. (They say our existing server is a public server, I don't know what does that mean). I tried googeling but couldn't find a satisfying answer.

So please help me here. ]]> Windows Servers and IIS grvs http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread237474.html
