Re: SFTP server support on Windows

[Jakub Jelen <jjelen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
the sftp server is disabled on Windows, mostly because nobody
implemented how files are handled on windows and how the SFTP layer
attributes map to windows structures. It should not be that hard to
implement if you are familiar with the windows API and have a way to
test it easily.
