Click "Start," "All Programs" and "copSSH." Select "Activate a user" on the drop-down menu, type a user account and enter a passphrase for the user without changing the other variables. You need to remember the passphrase, as it is related to the private key of the user who is activated in this process.

Click "Start," "Control Panel," "System and Security" and click on "Windows Firewall." Click the "Exceptions" tab in the Windows Firewall window, select "SSH" under "Programs and Services," type "22" as the "Port number," choose "TCP" and click "OK." Now your firewall allows TCP port 22 to be used for SSH connections. Your SSH server is now ready for use.
