Setup WinSSHD as file server working with SuperFlexible

[syberjj]

I'll post a small guide for newbies that want to set up SF sync using WinSSHD as the file server.
If this is available somewhere else please tell me to save me the work.

Sources I'll be using/referencing to are listed below, so it should already be enough for most people, but I'll make this easier in a few days when I am sure no one has posted this already somewhere else:
http://www.bitvise.com/winsshd-for-sftp
http://www.superflexible.com/partial.htm

Later I'll add:
http://www.superflexible.com/mangling.htm
http://www.superflexible.com/restore.htm

I won't be covering certificates at all, although it could be useful. But I don't feel like the right person to explain other users about this kind of feature

I'll probably finish this in 2-3 days

Hello,

thanks, that is a great idea! Note that our restore.htm page is a little old, as it doesn't mention the Restore Wizard yet which was added in version 4.

I have just recently started using SuperFlexible file synchronizer, and I chose WinSSHD for my server (the server is running on Windows XP Pro at the moment, but that may change).

I find that these two programs work well together. I did have to create a summary sheet for myself, showing all of the selections that I needed to make in SFFS, such as:

- Advanced mode, edit (pencil), Special, Cache destination file list, Partial File Updating, Right side uses remote service, Right side listing uses remote service
- Access and retries: Waiting and retrying: Wait for file access; Wait and retry if transfer or reading problems; Wait up to 5 mins; Re-run profile if error occurs while building OR running, re-run once, delay 15 seconds, avoid re-run for locked files

...and so on. But things have been working fine. BOTH programs take a little getting used to in the configuration and setup!
