Yeah - it's actually fairly painless (minus the long download but that's because I love my many many packages).
I haven't tried SSHWindows but it looks like a fairly well done project, more so than some of the recent ones that I've been tinkering with. Also hate to give another Microsoft plug but they do give away "Windows Services for UNIX 3.5" for FREE. Page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sfu/default.mspx DL: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sfu/downloads/default.mspx You get OpenSSL and OpenSSH from here to load on Windows: http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/ I can say that SFU (services for unix) works seamlessly but I haven't tried Open SSL or SSH on top of it. But it looks like that's fairly straightforward. Of course, I think it only loads on Windows Server and not XP - so it doesn't help Kevin in his situation. Still a nice option for anyone in a closely related situation.

I just wrote to Kevin off the list, but I will say that this prompted me to try again and there is a HUGE difference in installing Cygwin with OpenSSH now. Now have I succeeded in getting it running yet ?-- no. ;-( On Monday 10 October 2005 05:25 pm, David Sommers wrote: Well I run with cygwin but I saw this if you don't want it: http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ Looks to be a cygwin-less install.

Thanks everyone for the input. I think I have decided it is too difficult to accomplish. I was hoping that I was missing something obvious.
