Recently i am trying connect to winxp from linux. Is there any free download openssh for winxp beside f-secure ssh server and cygwin?
Thanks

Hello and welcome to LQ, hope you like it here.

There is CopSSH (http://www.itefix.no/phpws/index.php...sition=149:149) and OpenSSH for Windows (http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/). I use both and both work well. As with all Windows stuff that uses cyg*.dll's make sure you know which apps use which version of the DLL and where it's located. Also be careful with phrases like "free download". That's a typical phrase to draw in innocent users but in essence tells you sh*t about the license the download is under. Both packages are free to use. Next to that, if you're going to use a SSH daemon make sure you harden it properly, regardless of if it's facing the 'net or a possibly hostile LAN, and restrict access to it with at least a host-based firewall.

Thanks!

Copssh server works well with password authentication but now i have problem with public key authentication to copssh server.

Where should i put the client public key and what is the format for it?
Is it under the "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.ssh"?

I am also confuse about 'authorized_keys' and 'authorization' method.
Both the methods didn't support the public key authentication when i am trying connect to copssh server from f-secure ssh client. The copssh server and f-secure ssh client is on the same computer.

Thanks again for your reply

Apparently you *also* made a new thread for these last questions so it shouldn't be answered here but http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...cation-604849/
