Once you have tested your configuration and ensured that it works correctly, click 'Open easy settings' again and edit the router and firewall settings on the 'Server settings' tab to open your server to internet connections. We also recommend trying to connect with an SSH terminal client to ensure that users cannot access terminal shell and port forwarding. You can now start Bitvise SSH Server and try connecting with a file transfer client. When you are done configuring virtual users, click 'Save changes' to exit Easy settings. See Q460 in the SSH Server Usage FAQ for more information. The account may also be named differently on your installation. Note: The BvSsh_VirtualUsers account does not exist until the SSH Server has been started with at least one virtual account configured. This account is a member of the Users group, so if the Users group has sufficient access, the virtual account will have access as well.
#SSH TUNNEL WINSCP WINDOWS#
To guarantee that your users can access the directories you configure for them, make sure that the Windows account BvSsh_VirtualUsers has Windows filesystem permissions to access those directories. Set this to Advanced filesystem layout to configure a virtual filesystem for the user through which they can access multiple directory locations on the server. Set this to Limit to root directory to limit the user's access to a single directory and its subdirectories. Disable this checkbox to prevent the user from accessing other network services over SSH. Important: Do not grant access to Command Prompt, PowerShell, or another shell except BvShell, if you want to restrict the user's filesystem access.Īllow port forwarding. You can keep this setting configured to BvShell, or you can set this to No shell access. This is a small shell provided by the SSH Server which respects the SSH Server's virtual filesystem settings. For virtual accounts, this is set by default to BvShell. Enable this checkbox to allow SFTP, SCP and FTPS access. You can disable this to prevent access without deleting the account.Īllow file transfer. Enable this if the account should be able to connect to your server.
#SSH TUNNEL WINSCP PASSWORD#
This is the password that your user will use to log in (unless you set up public key authentication). This is the name that your user will use to log in. Edit the virtual account settings as follows: Click the 'Add' button to add a virtual account, or use the 'Edit' button to edit an existing virtual account. The final tab of Easy settings is named Virtual accounts. To use Bitvise SSH Server with virtual accounts only, do not add any Windows account entries under 'Windows accounts'. This will prevent anyone from logging into your SSH Server using accounts not configured in SSH Server settings. Therefore, disable the checkbox 'Allow login to any Windows account'.
#SSH TUNNEL WINSCP HOW TO#
This tutorial describes how to configure Bitvise SSH Server for file transfer using virtual accounts. The next tab of Easy settings is named Windows accounts. We recommend that you wait with router and firewall settings until you have configured the server and tested your configuration by connecting with an SSH, SFTP and/or FTPS client installed on the same computer, or in your local network. If you plan to use FTPS, see Compatibility with FTPS clients. If you wish to enable FTPS access, you can enable it on this tab. You will also need to change the setting 'Open Windows Firewall' to 'Open port(s) to any computer'. When you are ready for your server to accept connections over the internet, you will need to open this tab and enable the checkbox 'Automatically configure router (requires UPnP)'. The first tab of Easy settings is named Server settings. If you have already performed any changes to SSH Server settings, click 'Restore', and then 'Reset settings to default values'. You can also access Easy settings at any later time by clicking Open easy settings.
#SSH TUNNEL WINSCP INSTALL#
When you install Bitvise SSH Server, the Easy settings wizard should appear. This tutorial explains step-by-step how to configure Bitvise SSH Server for a primary role as a file transfer server using SFTP, SCP and/or FTPS.

A frequent usage scenario is to configure the SSH Server specifically for file transfer, without exposing the machine to terminal shell, tunneling and other types of access. Configuring Bitvise SSH Server for SFTP, SCP, FTPS file transferīitvise SSH Server provides multiple types of secure remote access to Windows.
