[Windows] Enable Windows default SSH server
This topic is already well documented by mircosoft docs. You can find it from Get started with OpenSSH. Here I just want to give two tips for accelerating the setup. There are two ways to activate the open ssh server on Windows: from Windows Settings or PowerShell. Personally, I would recommend to use the PowerShell. Open the PowerShell as an Administrator.

New-NetFirewallRule -Name 'OpenSSH-Server-In-TCP' -DisplayName 'OpenSSH Server (sshd)' -Enabled True -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -Action Allow -LocalPort 22 } else { Write-Output "Firewall rule 'OpenSSH-Server-In-TCP' has been created and exists." } When you try to connect the OpenSSH server, you’ll need to use ssh username@servername.
