Connect from Host MAC to Virtual Guest Windows using SSH & HTTP

Background Information.
SSH runs on port 22
HTTP runs on port 80

SSH command can be used many useful keywords such as
-l is for specificing login
-v is to run the command in debug mode. Its always nice to know what is happening behind the scene

Steps to connect host(mac) machine to Guest(windows) Machine using SSH or SFTP
1. First you need to install SSH Server. I have installed freesshd (free open source SSH and SFTP Server for windows)
I- SSH & SFTP runs on Port 22, so ADD the port 22 in your windows firewall exception list.
II- Add the User in freesshd user list and assign a possword or use windowsNT authentication mode.
III- Check the Bottom Check box to enable SSH or SFTP

2. Get the Guest(windows) IP address using command ipconfig
3. Host Mac already comes with SSH pre installed. so every thing is ready to go. Run the command
>ssh -v -l usernameSetinFREESSHD IPofGuest(windows)
>enter password ….
4. Host Mac Already comes with SFTP client CyberDuck so you can use above informaiton in that to access the directory structure of Guest(windows) Upload/download files. etc.
