No.
VLC is BS compared to The KMPlayer. Believe me. I used to use VLC and when I tried The KMplayer, I was totally blown away at all the stuff it can do. VLC is nothing against the mighty The KMPlayer.

Well, at least VLC is multi-platform whereas the Kmplayer is Windows-only...

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. In my usage of VLC and KMP I've seen occasions where KMP beats VLC - but VLC does have it's advantages, one is being multi-platform, two is being able to open broken video files, and I'm sure N1 or other videophiles could list other reasons.

My main encounter where KMP beat VLC was with subtitle positioning of a particular anime MKV file. Outside of that, other features are somewhat nominal.

Adding http://winscp.net/eng/index.php to Khat's list. FTP/SFTP/SSH client, includes a PuTTY client. Super useful software, totally free and isn't 'lite' or anything like that.

As for hosting an SSH server on Windows, gonna go ahead and recommend https://www.bitvise.com/ssh-server. I use it personally to create a key-exchange SSH tunnel and it works perfectly. I'm only using it on my home PC, so the personal license can be used for free indefinitely since it's, well, for personal use.
