Try this: Establish an SSH connection with Bitvise SSH Client https://www.bitvise.com/ssh-client-download
Go to the tab "Services". Check "FTP-to-SFTP Bridge" enabled. Listen interface = 127.0.0.1 Listen port = 21 (not sure if you need this) Now go to your connection within PSPad. Set the server to 127.0.0.1. Now you should be able to connect PSPad via SFTP. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,74033,74035> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
