K2SXS, a small software company that employs a team of young and motivated professionals that come up with secure, reliable utilities for Windows, has two products to offer: Script2Cloud, a scriptable FPT, SFTP, WebDAV, Azure and S3 client, and SilverSHielD, a free yet feature rich SSH and SFTP server for Windows. Go get SilverSHielD if you’re looking for a tiny yet powerful server for Windows that can be controlled from a simple management console.

Speaking about getting the SilverSHielD application, its installation file weighs in at 12.4MB – downloading it will not take long on a high-speed internet connection. The setup wizard that shows up when you run the aforementioned file presents you with two options: Install Now (this will install SilverSHielD with the most common features) and Custom (lets you choose which features to install). Installing SilverSHielD is a simple process that will not take much of your time.

You can control SilverSHielD from a rather easy to figure out Management Cons:ole to locally or remotely administer SilverSHielD. It comes with numerous functions and subsystems, several security settings. SilverSHielD is free for non-commercial use.

Cons:
3 simultaneous connections for a single client.

Pros

It will take little time to download and install SilverSHielD on your PC. Use a modern Management

Cons

ole – SilverSHielD runs at a service, you can control it through a Management Cons:ole. After you connect, in the Main Menu you will be presented with numerous settings grouped into tabs: Server Settings, Security Settings, Management Settings, Expert Settings, SMTP Settings, and Event Handling. There are two more menus besides Main – there’s a Users Menu and a Monitoring Menu. As mentioned above, SilverSHielD is a free SSH and SFTP server for Windows. It fully supports forwarding and SFTP subsystems, it features SSH2 password-based, interactive and public key authentication methods, it fetures SafeUp server-side file-transfer protection technology, it is PCI-compliant, and more. To sum it up, it is a feature rich server for Windows that can be easily controlled via a Management Cons:ole – it can also be controlled via the Command-Line Interface (CLI). SilverSHielD is free – the SilverSHielD Pro version is not. The free SilverSHielD edition can be used for non-commercial purposes for as long as you want, granted you’re willing to live with the following limitation: only 3 simultaneous connections from a single client. You’re very well advised to get SilverSHielD if you’re looking for a free, feature rich SSH and SFTP server for Windows that can be controlled via a user friendly console.
