I remember ssh from grad school days (Solaris machines at school).
It's an encrypted command line session.  And scp is like cp.  But for
syncing a folder of text files between the handset & the laptop, it
might be easier to simply use Windows Explorer to copy the handset
folder to a temp area on the laptop, then use diff or vimdiff to
reconciles differences.
