You don't need anything as awesome as Cygwin, if *all* you need is an ssh client for Windows. You can use PuTTY, which is Windows-native (doesn't need cygwin1.dll or anything of the sort), and can be run as a GUI application or a command-line application, at your preference. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ -Eliah -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
