It'd be cool even if you just used PuTTYtel (PuTTY, less ssh, for people that live in countries that restrict crypto). One thing I really like about it is that it mimics the xterm copy-and-paste behavior; just highlight some text with the left mouse button, and it gets copied to the Windows clipboard. Right-click, and the contents of the clipboard are pasted into your session. As previously pointed out, pscp is PuTTY's companion scp client. If you want something more graphical, check out the newest addition to Rick's list, WinSCP. Its license allows for gratis usage. (PuTTY's, I believe, is free but not copyleft, more similar to a BSD- or MIT-style license.) === Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 20:14:52 -0800 From: Dan Copeland <dcopeland@linuxfan.com> To: SVLUG <svlug@svlug.org> Subject: Re: [svlug] recommened SSH client On Mon, Feb 05, 2001 at 09:12:12PM -0500, Bill Jonas wrote: > restrict crypto).

It's a wonderful feature - the only drawback is that it always makes me expect my other Windows apps to do the same... I'll throw in my vote for Tera Term. I've tried SecureCRT, and it's nice but I prefer something a little more minimalist (though not as minimalist as PuTTY). === Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 00:01:43 -0800 (PST) From: Wayne Earl <wayne@qconcepts.net> To: hvrietsc@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [svlug] recommened SSH client I second the recommendation of putty. I keep putty.exe and pscp.exe on a floppy in my car for the rare occasions that I am away from a system with a real OS, and out of Ricochet range. The putty floppy is definately a part of my earthquake emergency kit. ===
