Install OpenSSH SFTP client to Windows 7

There's Microsoft Win32-OpenSSH project.
It can be manually installed to any version of Windows.
For client tools, just extract OpenSSH-Win64.zip (or OpenSSH-Win32.zip) anywhere you want. No "installation" is needed.
Note that for Windows 10 version 1803 or newer, OpenSSH is already built-in. On older versions, it's available as an optional Windows feature. Just go to Settings > Apps > Manage optional features and add "OpenSSH client".
It installs to C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH (and is added to PATH).

A Google search on
– K7AAY – 2018-11-21T16:30:45.037OpenSSH SFTP Windows 7revealed https://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_windows_openssh_server as the first item, which mentions OpenSSH-Win64.zip or OpenSSH-Win32.zip .1It also says "Installing SFTP/SSH S-E-R-V-E-R". How did I not think of looking at that link... – JustAGuy – 2018-11-22T01:20:48.337
