Description

The install guide does not include information on where files are or should be located.

This is important for things like

  • sshd_config going in c:\ProgramData\ssh because this is a departure from how it is done on Linux.
  • optional files that are not in the distribution such as ssh_config
  • operational files that only appear during operations, such as sshd.pid and log files

It might also be nice to have a detailed permissions guide like this, but with updated locations: https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/930
