If all you want to do is copy the files over, that's going to be overkill. OTOH, if you'd like to have a selection of good *nix utilities handy while in Windows, Cygwin is a great idea. But if you just want to copy the files over, just get pscp. (putty scp) Do a google search for "putty ssh" and hit "I'm feeling lucky". It'll take you straight there. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred. You can get my public key from any of the pgp.net keyservers.
