    If you're using windows, I recommend installing a package called Cygwin, which gets you a decent subset of the goodness of Unix. It's free, it's fairly easy to install, and depending on what you install, you could use XFree86, perl, bash, gcc, and all that other fun stuff (including ssh).

    I don't have problems running ssh from Cygwin, which, AFAIK, runs also on Windows NT.

      hi,
      in my workplace, we've been connecting to the remote host in unix using ssh for many years.
      Now, the new requirement is to do the samin windows.
      we dont want to use third party tools like cygwin, because, in which case we would have to do the same to many servers in the remote location.

      Since we've already done some work in perl, we'd like to continue to execute resident scripts on the remote servers using sockets or any other possible and effiecient method.
      Thanks!
