Windows ssh GUI client.

I got an earful from a few people who like some of the other commercial
clients more than SSH Corp's.

Here's another list, more complete:

I'll do a bit of a re-cap on this since I've been looking at various clients
for the past few months for a project at work. I haven't included any
clients that aren't capable of doing SSH2 (SSH1 is nasty and broken, don't
use it.) I also looked at clients that are capable of doing X-Forwarding as
that is a requirement for our needs. I recommend Hummingbird's Exceed
software for X11 in windows. There are other cheaper options but it doesn
the job well.

Anyway.. here is what I found:

Putty - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
NOTE: It does not do X-Forwarding and pscp has crashed on large transfers
(100MB+).

TerraTerm Pro + TTSSH Extension - http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html
NOTE: It _does_ do X-Forwarding, never had a problem. No option for file
transfers that I've seen. (I think it's ugly as hell though. heh)

Cygwin - http://www.cygwin.com
Linux in windows (near enough), very cool, only minor annoyances such as
strange default TERM environment variables. Once you have this setup, you
don't need any damn windows tools. :)
NOTE: Not for GUI fanatics, while they have ported XFree86 4.x, it is not
very stable.

ShellGuard (previously telneat) - http://www.shellguard.com
Looks decent, but is shareware (try before you buy. hah), and I don't see
anything about X-Forwarding.

SSH - http://www.ssh.com
Very nice software, the gui to SCP/SFTP is very nice indeed. It's fairly
pricey though. It does X-Forwarding and everything else related to SSH2.

Check http://www.openssh.org/windows.html for a more complete list of tools
such as frontends for pscp, etc.

As always, YMMV.

I would like to take all telnet and ftp access off of my server to do
this I need to be able to give my window users a GUI client though. Does
anyone know if CuteFTP can connect via ssh? Or if not any other GUI
tools they could use? (I also have one Apple users so same question for
her).

Thanks,
Carl P.
