I'd like to set up my home PC so people can ssh to my machine to access a certain folder.
How can I do that?

The only client I'm familiar with is SSH Secure Shell Client 3.2.9 which can downloaded from ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh
After reading the documentation and fiddling with some settings, I finally gave up.

Thanks.

You're looking for a server, not a client, right?

This program looks interesting, and really easy to use, though I haven't tried it yet...

freeSSHd

Thanks for the information.
I just get the idea how it works (lol, slow me )

Some problems, though:
1. I can see the files from the shell, but I cannot browse through the files from the SSH file transfer client.
2. How can I restrict the folders I want to show, because I can access literally everything on the remote computer (not safe)?

Are you looking for SSH (logging on to run command line programs) or SCP/SFTP (secure file transfer over SSH)?  You said "SSH", but it sounds more like you want file transfer.

For file transfer only, if you don't require more than one user account, the CoreFTP free mini-server works well and requires no installation or advanced configuration -- you can get it up and running in under a minute.

For anything more advanced, you can install OpenSSH following the instructions here, which I've used before for reference myself -- it works well.

I finally can get it work using CoreFTP easily after I had some weird problem with OpenSSH (I couldn't make any password with any username on this PC).
It's a shame, though, considering its popularity and the fact that I want to know how to use it.

I cannot use SSH Secure Shell Client to access the folder, but FileZilla works nicely too.

Thanks for the help.
