A few folks have already commented on the usefulness of ssh for shell access to a Windows box. Let me add to that and say that other sshd functionality also works quite well. I'm able to run a script to ssh to my Windows 2000 notebook and do an automated nightly backup from a Linux system using forced-command logins. scp also works as expected, allowing quick retrieval of files regardless of the platform I happen to be working at. I set up Cygwin expressly for the purpose of using sshd for exactly this sort of thing, and I've been delighted at the results. - Bob -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
