Hello all-

I have looked at the other posts, but have not quite found an answer

I have a question about windows file sharing over SSH. I have copssh installed and it is working for Remote desktop connections. I have port 22 forwarded on my router etc. I connect from a Mac or Putty with this address:

ssh -l copsshusername 3391:localhost:3389 [external ip]

That works fine.

I would like to configure Windows 7 to allow my ssh account that I use to login, access to certain shared folders. I have documents and videos and things that I would like to be able to download externally.

I have done this before on Linux and a long time ago on XP, but I cannot figure out what I am missing on Windows 7.

There is a designated SSH user that copssh uses to run the service and that I use to to login as.

I have googled and googled and have not found a solution that does everything I need that is why I am turning here for ideas.

I hope I am explaining this correctly. Thank you very much for your help!
