ssh client for windows
 

Hi Everyone,

Please anyone suggest me a SSH client free software , which works on windows XP. After googling , i find a lot which are trial and paid.

Thanks in Advance

My absolutely favourite: Putty.

I've it on all my portable media (like flash drives and USB disks), just in case ;)

Second that

Another option is to install Cygwin/X. This will allow you to run both the ssh client and server on XP.

Also, you can run a remote gnome or KDE program and have it display on a your local XP machine. This will allow you to run all those handy text utilities such as sed, awk, grep, etc on windows.

Google is your friend

I found a link to Putty in most of the search results...

Great,
Thank you Guys.

Ofcourse google is our Best friend .
I went with http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/s...hellClient.exe and it has crashed the XP.
I just now return to LQ forum and i Will try your options after re-installing XP.
Thanks again

Unless you are limited in space (you need a few hundred megs), go with ssh from cygwin. With X from Cygwin you can do nearly everything as in Linux.

Putty: download, run - no installation.
Use psftp for sftp transfers.

I also use Cygwin and PuTTY on my Windows machine. Both are free and they both work well.
