SSH for Windows?

[khalidaaa]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a SSH service to be installed on Windows 2003 servers. I've tested running CYGWIN with no problems (and was able to access our UNIX machines without password by sharing public/private keys). But when i planned to use it on our Windows production servers and contacted RedHat, they told me that they can only sell 50 licenses for $10,000. All i'm asking for is 2 licenses so i can't justify 50!

Now i'm looking for alternative to CYGWIN which can be run from the command line (as i will have to script it) and share pubilc/private keys with UNIX machines. Could you please help?

Thanks

Regards,
Khalid

Hi Khalid, there is an implementation of OpenSSH available for Windows available at

http://www.openssh.org.

It is quite simple to setup/configure. HTH

Thanks itsp1965.

I know about OpenSSH but the problem is that it is free! I think i can purchase its licenses under the CYGWIN package but as i mentioned it is expensive!

I found this yesterday:

http://www.ssh.com/

It is called SSH Tectia. I've downloaded it and i'm testing it for now to see if it fits my needs.

Any Other suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
Khalid

Ah in that case you may want to try VShell Server (
