AFAIK Putty is a client only. The original user wanted to access his WinXP Home system from FreeBSD. So, Putty isn't going to do it. I think there is an OpenSSH implementation (both client and server) for Win32 that runs on XP. I know the cygwin implementation works (but the original poster may not want that much added to the XP system). http://www.cygwin.com/ and http://www.openssh.org/ -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean_AT_hedron_DOT_org PGP KeyID: 1024D/CBC5D6BB URL: http://www.hedron.org/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
