The following are the steps to enable SFTP on a Windows server 2019:

  1. Go to Windows Settings–>Apps
  2. Click on “Manage optional features” Under apps and features menu
  3. Look for OpenSSH Server, check if it’s already installed, if not click on “Add a feature” to install it.

Go to Windows services and look for “OpenSSH Authentication Agent ” and “OpenSSH SSH Server” services.
Change both services startup type to “Automatic”, and make sure that they are both started.

Changing the root directory of OpenSSH server:

Browse to directory “C:\ProgramData\ssh” and locate “sshd_config” file.
Look for #ChrootDirectory and modify that line to:
ChrootDirectory “E:\SFTPRoot” and save the file. OR

sftp sftp-server.exe -d E:\SFTPRoot

Add \%u on the line to set to a folder per user.
