I'm trying to create a complete FTP server on Win 2012 r2 using IIS FTP (for FTP and FTPS protocol) and OpenSSH for SFTP protocol.

I'm searching for several documentations but I'm discovering different issues; for example, I cannot understand if OpenSSH uses fstab file in its configuration since it is not present in the etc folder installation. also, if OpenSSH uses it, is there a way to configure it or can I simply follow the UNIX rules?

edit:question Is IIS SFTP natively supported by Windows Server 2012 R2? is not the same of mine. in that topic there is a question about the possibility to use SSH on a Win Server 2012 XX. this is not my problem since I know yet that natively it is not supported. in fact, I would use another component, OpenSSH for Windows (i.e. http://www.mls-software.com/opensshd.html)but I was trying to understand in a better way its functionalities.

Save yourself some headache and find an SSH server that was designed to run on Windows instead of an SSH server that was designed to run on *nix and hacked to run on Windows via a compatibility layer like Cygwin.

There are some excellent choices highlighted in this previous answer: What is a good SSH server to use on Windows?
