Your original reply left me with the impression that Cygwin had somehow changed a heck of a lot since the last time I had it installed on a box -- That it had become some wizard-driven solution that would give one a SSH solution with only a few simple clicks. It's not that at all. It's a set of libraries/utilities/applications that bring some popular Linux functionality to the Windows user, of which one of those features is SSH. Maybe Cygwin is perfect for what some people want and they'll appreciate that you pointed it out. My point was never to question its capability to provide SSH on Windows. I only scoffed at the impression you made that it was pretty much the same as using Bitvise. There's also much irony with regard to free vs. paid solutions and your never hidden feelings about the DIY mentality of the MV crowd.
