Alan's right. Attacks are frequent. I've never been hacked to my
knowledge but every time I've had a box on the public net it develops a
large log of attacks, several per day from around the world.
And that's from obscure boxes that aren't serving anything. A website,
any website, is a prime target.
Unfortunately my experience trying to get a free ssh client working in
Windows (or a server) never worked. Unlike the unix ones, "install,
use" just didn't work. Ah well. Use a Linux client :-)
