Yeah, I already got some replies from the mentioned list, I tried them out.
Didn't work. For now I think I'll skip ssh on windows and just go with the
easier-to-setup shhd on a Fedora Core-webserver I have running at home. Seems
a lot easier... Can't believe MS hasn't done anything about this for IIS over
the years. 8-/
Will look into CopSSH later. Seems like the technique using this is similar to
"ssh for windows" with the addition of some scripts and stuff out-of-the-box.
Promising, but we'll see.
Thx for the hint though. 8-)
PS. From what I've seen with sshd on linux, the "normal" users can traverse
directories there as well, except they can't view/edit sensitive files like
shadow and such. However I'm not sure if normal users seeing the contents of
passwd and groups is ok. Seems a bit, well, you know, bad... DS.
