I have to install OpenSSH on some Windows Server machines (2008 R2, 2012 R2, 2003). I see there are some deployments (this one from Wikipedia and another one on GitHub and there might be more).

What's the best one in terms of reliability and stability? I can't understand what are the differences of these deployments.

I prefer to install an EXE rather than compile it by myself.

    Hello, the last one is linked to the Powershell Team according to the repo, so Microsoft official. I'd say it can't be better than this so far.

What is wrong? The question is opinion based and is about software recommendation. Non of them is on-topic here.

Anyway, the difference between these two are:

  • first one is working for a quite long time under cygwin, which means that it is proved by many users.
  • the other one is official by Microsoft (since they, 20 years after all the other systems, realized it might be useful). It has a big pro that it is native win32 version running without any other middle-layer (cygwin).

I would go with the second one, since it is (finally) native. But it is opinion and I am aware that somebody can disagree. This is the reason for the first paragraph.
