Every Linux distro comes with ssh client pre-installed. Try ssh --help or man ssh in terminal. You can install ssh server in ubuntu by doing:
Code:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
in terminal.
Hi rizwanrafique,
Many thanks. I'm using the ssh terminal server right now and it works ok. The thing is I'm looking for a more complete program, with more options, etc.
For example I want to save a session to copy files via uuencode and it isn't allowed with the shell. With programs like securecrt for windows it is ok.
Well ssh in Linux/Unix works slightly differently. There might be a tool that's more GUI centric but I'm not aware of it. You can use scp to copy a file remotely over ssh. Or you can use rsync to copy a whole tree. If you want to use remote shares you as if they were local directories you can use sshfs to mount them locally.

hi rizwanrafique,
the problem here is that I do ssh tunnels so I should have to do many steps to copy a file using scp.
I was thinking about something like:
scp localhost -p 6001:source_path/file destination_local_path/file
