'ssh' uses a pty by default for I/O which Windows programs don't understand. See the information on 'tty' at: I haven't tried installing 'sshd' without 'tty' set. And, of course, if this works, it will only work from a command prompt window. Cygwin terminals (rxvt, xterm) won't work because they use ptys. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
