Looking at the web page at www.openssh.com there is no link to download
OpenSSH.

I have used OpenSSH for many years. I just tried to installing version
3.8.1p1 (client only) on Vista, and ssh is saying that the private key
file has 644 permissions. NOTE: I am not using Cygwin, just OpenSSH alone.

I have tried many things with file security but can not get past this
problem. In searching the web I see there is a 4.6p1 version, but I can
not find a download of this version, for Windows.

Can anyone ?

Thanks,
Paul

AKAIK there's no such animal. Certainly not one provided/supported
by the OpenSSH team.

There was a third-party "OpenSSH for Windows" project on Sourceforge but
that's just a stripped-down Cygwin with OpenSSH, and last time I looked
it hadn't been updated for years. I suspect that the bundled Cygwin
bits don't support Vista.

You can just use the version of OpenSSH bundled with Cygwin. If you want
a stand-alone bundle then there's a more up-to-date one called CopSSH,
which you can find a link to here: http://www.openssh.com/windows.html

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

The Cygwin works well, I assume those based on it do as well. There's
an old bug with certain anti-virus software that causes problems for
the SSH daemon doing a re-exec, which requires the undocumented '-R'
option ot allow the daemon to run.
