so openssh is a separate command? I got the link to winscp from the openssh 
page and apparently misunderstood the descriptions -- it looked as if winscp 
was a windows-based implementation of openssh.  I will go back and download 
openssh then. Heck, I'll get the source and compile it if I have to!
Thanks.

  Hey,


  I use both openssh (works great with JAWS) and WinSCP all of the time.  
WinSCP is more of an SCP / FTP client, and is really inconvenient for command 
line activity.

    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. I looked for openssh and found a page for it, 
    which led me to winscp, which sounded like what I wanted, but I can't get 
it 
    into a state I can work with.  What I'd really like is not something like 
    telnet or sftp, but rather a bash shell that I can run remotely.
    I haven't done this in a while and need someone to jog my memory as to what 
    tools are best for doing this.  I understand that MSYS and MinGW have an 
ssh 
    command that works, but I have MSYS set up and it can't find ssh.  I also 
    have cygwin set up, bu it also has no ssh.
    I considered putty, but thought I'd ask the list first.  How many trees do 
I 
    have to bark at before I find the right command?  Someone please post a 
    note. Thanks in advance!
