I remember ssh from grad school days (Solaris machines at school). It's an encrypted command line session. And scp is like cp. But for syncing a folder of text files between the handset & the laptop, it might be easier to simply use Windows Explorer to copy the handset folder to a temp area on the laptop, then use diff or vimdiff to reconciles differences. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
