Subject: which ssh client for windows?
hello all:
Here are my thoughts, I'm curious if anyone has used these and can give
me some insite.
First, I used CRT for quite some time, I seem to have lost my key for
4.1 and a copy costs $100. For me, that's quite a lot of money
especially at this time. I really liked 4.1 because the prompt was at
the bottom and everything just sort of scrolled down so it'd append to
the bottom. Now half the screen is empty until your screen is full, but
I could deal with that, were it not for the $100. So I moved on to
greener pastures, or so I hoped. I first tried openssh.
This works except for a few problems.
First, when I am using something like irssi it will read the last line,
then it reads everything else (the bottom two status lines). This is
kind of irritating, especially when I am in a room with a lot of
chatter. Jaws, for whatever reason also just kind of hangs after a
while, and only displays like the bottom line from a chat 10 or so
messages back. The only solution to this is to detach screen, exit and
restart openssh.
Second, I usually have 3 sometimes four ssh windows open at a time.
Using openssh, even when you use title from the command prompt, you have
a administrator: C:title
Last, it seems to have issues with ppk pairs with no passwords. I
usually just use ppk pairs and cycle them out every month; I get a
stronger authentication and I can just quickly log in. This is
especially nice due to a bug I've found in scp where sometimes it will
ask for the password and you won't know, until you realize that your
files are not saving.
So, next I moved on to Teraterm. I've tried this before, but I wanted to
give it a shot, again.
I'm noticing two issues with this, mainly the fact that jaws, even with
the script does not read output.
I'm also having trouble finding how to save connections and set a
public-private key pair for login so that I can just click on a
connection and log in.
This may be a feature that TT itself is lacking, or it may just be me.
Any sort of ideas would be excellent, in any case, to make one of these
work better.
