So, you started a SSH server, created a "username" and defined their password as "password"?
Then, using a ssh client (putty, or operating system ssh) you did a first time login to create the keys, and accept host signature?

You can see the setup for testing in https://github.com/robotframework/SSHLibrary

I am not sure if you can connect to localhost as you plan. Usually you have some remote machine with ssh server to connect.

You can setup a virtual machine and ssh into it.

There is also Vagrant, that downloads and creates a virtual machine, where the login is done by ssh.

Thanks for your help...

I am able to connect to remote machine using the solution which you provided.

I have to install openssh on my windows machine and then placed the openssh-win64 extract in c:\programfules.Setup the environment variable(path system variable). Provided the path till openssh folder (c:\programfiles\openSSH-win64) and then using windows power shell i installed the sshd and ssh-agent.

And then started the openssh server and did firewall setting to allow ssh connection.

All working fine. Able to get and put files on the remote machine using sshlibrary of robotframework.
