openssh is somewhat out of date - best you use CopSSH which installs both an sshd and an ssh client. Alternatively, you have the following options: PuTTY for a command line ssh client which will also use public key authentication, instead of password authentication. Filezilla, for a ftp/sftp client (at this moment it only uses passwd authentication). WinSCP which can use a PuTTY style private/public key authentication. You should be able to dig out the relevant links in Google, otherwise give me a shout. HTH. -- Regards, Mick
