I'm new to ssh client thing and i'm using this in a project i'm doing.. I got the method of doin this in http://www.worldgoneweb.com/2011/installing-openssh-on-windows-7/ I could not change the permissions using chmod and chown as shown in that forum. Can anyone please help me in debugging this ?! and moreover when i use "net start openssh" I get a "system error 5 has occurred. Access denied "

Answer 1

I just got this going myself following the same article. I got the "system error 5" message initially too.

Solution: Run cmd.exe as administrator by right clicking on it and choosing "Run as administrator"
