Trying to setup an SSH server on Windows Server 2003. What are some good ones? Preferably open source. I plan on using WinSCP as a client so a server which supports the advanced features implemented by that client would be great.

Yes, it's Called Powershell Web Access. PowerShell Web Access allows you to securely log on to and manage a Windows Server using PowerShell commands or scripts.
Both OpenSSH components can be installed using Windows Settings on Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 devices. To install the OpenSSH components: Open Settings, select Apps, then select Optional Features.
What is an SCP server? SCP, or secure copy protocol, is the means of securely transferring files between a local host and a remote host or between two remote hosts.
Though they are quite similar, there are fundamental differences between them. SSH is considered more secure because it does not require additional tools such as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Multi-factor authentication (MFA) as RDP does.
I've been using Bitvise SSH Server and it's really great. From install to administration it does it all through a GUI so you won't be putting together a sshd_config file. Plus if you use their client, Tunnelier, you get some bonus features (like mapping shares, port forwarding setup up server side, etc.) If you don't use their client it will still work with the Open Source SSH clients.
It's not Open Source and it costs $39.95, but I think it's worth it.
UPDATE 2009-05-21 11:10: The pricing has changed. The current price is $99.95 per install for commercial, but now free for non-commercial/personal use. Here is the current pricing.

I agree that cygwin/OpenSSH is the best choice, but its setup can be involved to say the least. Here is a document to get you started though: Installing OpenSSH
