File Locations on Windows

On Windows, the default installation directory for SSH Tectia products is "C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Tectia".

On Windows, the SSH Tectia Client files are located in the following directories:

"<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Client": user binaries such as ssh-client-g3.exe
"<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Broker": the Connection Broker binaries
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Broker\ssh-broker-config.xml": the global Connection Broker configuration file (see ssh-broker-config(5))
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Broker\ssh-broker-config-example.xml": a sample file with Connection Broker configuration examples
"<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia AUX": auxiliary binaries such as ssh-keygen-g3.exe
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia AUX\ssh-broker-ng": the Connection Broker configuration file DTD directory
  - "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia AUX\ssh-broker-ng\ssh-broker-config-default.xml": a sample file that shows the factory default settings (see ssh-broker-config(5))
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia AUX\licenses": the license file directory (see Licensing)

Figure 3.1 shows the SSH Tectia directory structure when also SSH Tectia Server and SSH Tectia Connector have been installed on the same machine.
