well, now I have the source but it won't compile. This is getting to be very annoying. Suggestions welcome. Amyone know the file dependencies? Oh I guess I'll dig through the makefiles. But that shouldn't be necessary... --le ----- Original Message ----- From: qubit To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 19, 2010 1:49 PM Subject: Re: ssh client I know, I tried ssh, ssh1, ssh2, openssh, Openssh, etc etc. (Now that would be funny if "etc" worked...*smile*) It isn't installed.

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.
