Microsoft Cannot Leave Anything Alone That Works

The last I set up FileZilla to sftp files from Linux in the shop and Windows 11 PC, it was painless and symmetrical.   I could download from Windows to Linux and Linux to Windows.   

This time trying to set it up has been a pain.  FileZilla copies from Windows 11 to Linux without problems.   From Windows 11 to Linux, not so easy this time. 

I have to install OpenSSH in Windows.  I do not remember doing this.  If I did, the rest of the process (configuring OpenSSH, using whoami to get Microsoft user name and Microsoft password, we're not part of the process.   And it still does not open an sftp connection from the command line in Linux.

Strictly speaking,  I can live with only a one-way connection.   It is just annoying.  If only Linux were as well supported as Windows.
