Connect using Windows ssh to another windows

Is there any way to connect using ssh, from one pc with windows to another windows? , I have a user A on a PC and another user B, I try to connect from B to A using

ssh [user-a] @ [host]

however when entering credentials these are not accepted, and probe with several users, and look for information about it however I can not find an answer, I do not know if I'm missing something, because when I connect with a remote desktop, I do not have any problems.

EDIT: Windows users are on different computers, in which I also have ubuntu bash, and I connect via ssh between them (from ubuntu bash session to another session of ubuntu bash without problems), what I want is to connect from one session of windows to another , nevertheless I am not sure if it is the user or the password that does not allow me to connect, I have created new users and I still get the wrong password. I have OpenSSH installed and the sshd service running.

Use putty.exe

PuTTY is the most popular app for connecting to SSH servers on Windows. It’s completely open source and is even available as a portable app, so you can add it to your portable app toolkit and use it anywhere. PuTTY’s interface may seem a bit intimidating and complicated at first, but it’s fairly simple once you start using it.

PuTTY offers more power and options than the other SSH clients above, running as a Windows desktop application. Like FireSSH, PuTTY also offers SSH tunneling features. To use PuTTY, all you really need to do is launch putty.exe, enter the hostname (or IP address) of the remote server, ensure the port is correct, and click Open. PuTTY will connect to the server and prompt you for a username and password. You can also save this session information if you like — click the Default Settings option and click Save and PuTTY will use your saved settings every time it opens.

All of these options are available on the main configuration pane. You probably don’t need to touch any of the other options. If you want to set up SSH tunneling in PuTTY, you’ll find the option under Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels.

For a ssh server for windows there is a commercial application called tectia-ssh

You can install oracle Virtualbox on Windows and install a guest Linux like ubuntu. There it is easy to run a ssh server.

Installing VirtualBox and extension packs:

Ubuntu page and download pages.........here

Install ssh:

Step 1 – Update repositories.
root@mail:/# apt-get update
root@mail:/# apt-get upgrade
Step 2 – Install SSH Server
root@mail:/# apt-get install openssh-server
Basic Configuration
Step 3 – After installation I will show how to configure ssh server. Open ssh config file with the following command:
root@mail:/# nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Step 4 – If you want to change ssh port you have to find ‘Port’ line and change the number of the port. For example I will change to 22222.
Port 22222
Step 5 – I will set max login attempts to be 3. After 3 wrong login attempts you will disconect. This is very important for security of your server and this can be used for prevention from brute force attack (see my Theme 4). Add this line bellow Port:
MaxAuthTries 3
Step 6 – Allow certain users to login on your server and deny all other users. I will add ‘zimbra’ users because my Zimbra Mail Serve should have access. For more information about Zimbra Mail Server configuration read theme 12. Add the following line at the end of the file and after that save the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
AllowUsers mslavov zimbra
Step 7 – Restart ssh service with the following command:
root@mail:/# service ssh restart
Now only this two users will have access to your server.

On the putty page there is a free ssh-server name bitvise-server, I haven't tried it but that could solve the issue.........
