I have a netrw user using WinXP who wants to use ssh; currently, he

I tend to use cygwin, but that's like asking one to build a home
instead of new cabinets for the kitchen.
So, where can he get ssh for WinXP?
I'm likely to put a synopsis of any answers in netrw's help.
Hello!
Thank you for your suggestions -- as I mentioned, I'll be including a
synopsis in netrw's help. Looks
like there're four solutions: putty, openssh, gnuwin32, and including a
couple of files from cygwin
(although for that last case I'm not sure how one would get just the two
without downloading the
entire distribution). It'll be netrw-problem #8 (:help netrw-P8).

The Cygwin distribution is made up of a large number of small packages which
can be downloaded separately. You can opt for the large economy package with
bells, whistles, and Christmas gift wrapping, or else download one small set
of basic functions required by all the rest, plus whatever additional software
packages you want.
I suggested GnuWin32 on general principles, but I haven't actually checked
whether it offers an ssh program.
Best regards,
Tony.
