LOL. What does that even mean? > Regarding Bitvise - yeah it's great but the Cygwin solution is too, > and it's free A favorite saying comes to mind, "*nix is only free if your time is worthless." and has more feature Such as? and takes the same amount of time to setup. Maybe for someone that's used both before and understands tunnelling and port forwarding.

And once installed, are you saying that you're good to go with a fully configured SSH solution? What a load of misleading advertising. For laughs, I downloaded the latest version of Cygwin, ran the installer and immediately found myself asking, "now what", as I had to make decisions on choosing which packages to download. So, I play it safe and go for the default install (from Internet). After adding over 100MB of files to my disk, of which about 25MB can be deleted from original package downloads folder, I have an icon on the desktop for Cygwin. Click on that magic Cygwin icon and I get.. Wait for it. A command prompt. Yeah, I'm almost there with a SSH server set-up. I won't attempt to dispute that the Cygwin solution can work, eventually, but to say it's even remotely similar and easy to set-up as a dedicated SSH product like Bitvise is outlandish. Time is money my friend. Less than $100 for Bitvise is a good investment, IMO. -- Kevin Powick -- -- IMPORTANT: T24/Globus posts are no longer accepted on this forum.
