in thread How secure is XOR encryption?

The putty stuff works fine, although I'm not sure it can be automated with VB. I also use the scp client that comes with cugwin on Windows and it works well.

    It looks like psftp is trying to set up an interactive session (not what I expected) then did a fall-back and failed to do that do. Help!
