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

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

- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Server\ssh-server-config.xml": server configuration file (see ssh-server-config(5))
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Server\ssh-server-config-default.xml": sample file that shows the hardcoded system defaults of the server configuration
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Server\ssh-server-config-example.xml": sample file that shows useful examples for the server configuration
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Server\hostkey": default server host private key file
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Server\hostkey.pub": default server host public key file
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Server\random_seed": the seed file for the random number generator
- "<INSTALLDIR>\SSH Tectia Server\trusted_hosts": directory for host public keys that are trusted for host-based authentication (see Host-Based User Authentication)

The user-specific configurations are stored in each user's own directory:

%USERPROFILE%\.ssh2\authorized_keys\: the default directory for user public keys that are authorized for login
%USERPROFILE%\.ssh2\authorization: (optional) the default authorization file for user public keys.
