openssh is somewhat out of date - best you use CopSSH which installs both an |
20 |
sshd and an ssh client. Alternatively, you have the following options: |
21 |
|
22 |
PuTTY for a command line ssh client which will also use public key |
23 |
authentication, instead of password authentication. |
24 |
|
25 |
Filezilla, for a ftp/sftp client (at this moment it only uses passwd |
26 |
authentication). |
27 |
|
28 |
WinSCP which can use a PuTTY style private/public key authentication. |

You should be able to dig out the relevant links in Google, otherwise give me |
31 |
a shout. |
