Yes, and I tried under Windows 8 x64 using pageant and it worked fine to
do a directory listing. The directions I followed to install freeSSHd
can be found at [1]. I installed it in a Windows 7 x64 VM.

How did you build libssh2 Daniel? There is a document on the curl
website for building OpenSSL, libssh2 and libcurl that can be found at
[2]. I have a build process that is more complicated if that doesn't
work. Please heed to Gün's advice and don't make .lib files from the .a
files.
