Maybe because you're using WinSSD! :-)

You don't use those features on your Solaris boxes? Oh wait you seem to 
only have one....

What website? You mean http://cygwin.com/packages/? If you would have 
searched for openssh or even sshd you would have found it.
>> Never understood why people do this. They get Putty (which, AFAICT, doesn't play well with the concept of pre-shared ssh keys (in a Unix sense) and doesn't give you scp, etc.) and then get some paid for X server like Reflections/X or something like that, then get some WinFTP server and WinCVS thingy, etc. Why do you want to mess with all of these non-unix, non integrated and sometimes shell out $$ to piece together something when all of that is available inside Cygwin and they all "play well together"???

That may be, but my rant is not aimed solely at you. I see people 
everyday, with many more servers and the like at my clients getting 
putty here and Reflections X there and FireFTP somewhere else...

I've always had problems trying to configure putty to use pre-shared 
keys. I hate typing in my password umpteen times a day!

I've done X from my house to my client's site without much of a problem. 
It's a little sluggish but not too bad. At home I have about a 1-3Mbps 
upload speed. Exactly how slow is your DSL?

A budget is just a method of worrying before you spend money, as well as 
afterward.
