Cygwin does have an Openssh package. I have no experience with it, but here's the information from setup.ini: openssh sdesc: "The OpenSSH server and client programs" ldesc: "OpenSSH is a program for logging into a remote machine and for executing commands on a remote machine. It can replace rlogin and rsh, providing encrypted communication between two machines." category: Net requires: bash coreutils crypt csih cygrunsrv cygwin diffutils editrights gawk g rep libopenssl098 zlib libwrap0 libgcc1 libssp0 libedit0 version: 5.5p1-2 install: release/openssh/openssh-5.5p1-2.tar.bz2 759479 156f9beebf4bfbf049ca201b d8b6fb11 source: release/openssh/openssh-5.5p1-2-src.tar.bz2 877206 b768b95315ff55a48ee19 5c552f8b800 On Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:55:05 -0500, qubit wrote: > Hi all -- > My needs are simple: I need a workable ssh client to run on my windows box > and exchange files with a remote linux site with my login on it. > I feel like I'm going crazy.
