With the current telnetd exploit problems, you might want to consider
switching over to SSH2 for encrypted connections.  There is a new SSH2
client for Windows that is pretty good and even allows you to do Zmodem file
transfers over SSH2.  You can go to http://www.radient.com to try their
30-day trial version.

Another good ssh2 client can be demo'd from
 http://www.f-secure.com/ and yet another from
 http://www.netterm.com/
I don't no radient's offering, so I can't compare,
but I've used both of the above and either does
the job.  f-secure costs more and is a cleaner,
smoother program.  Again, either does the job,
but YMMV, etc.

How about free options?

Here are some free options for windows...

I believe that PuTTY is SSH2 compliant.  I do not know about the others.

        Putty is a great client, thought I think it's still beta it seems mostly
bug free

My favorite ssh client on Windows is SecureCRT, which you can get at
http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/.  It's not cheap,
however.. at $100 for a single copy, you can get a fully loaded RedHat
or SuSE Linux distribution (with OpenSSH) installed for less than
that.

Alternatively, you can get Tera Term Pro with SSH support at
http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html for free.  It makes a
completely adequate SSH terminal program, but does not include the
extensive support for port forwarding and other VPN-like features that
SecureCRT does.

PuTTY - works great (ssh v1 and ssh v2 support in _one_ binary,
just like OpenSSH for unix) supports 3DES Blowfish and AES
encryption and all for free! (free as in beer and speech,
and opensource)

The terminalemulation (xterm with a _working_ vt100 emulation)

Works much more stable than most comercial ones i tried out.
(Even the development snapshot [2001-06-29])

btw, has an ssh agent, scp and sftp client support.
also does plain telnet and rlogin for those who care.

get it at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

why get a 30-day trial when you can have an excellent client like putty for free?

Last time I tried Putty, it caused all sorts of lock-up/crashing
problems with my Win98se partition. This was around December 2000.
When I uninstalled Putty, everything was fine. I went and got
SecureCRT (one of them 30-day trial proggies) with an academic license
instead. I'm all for free software, but based on my experience Putty
doesn't seem quite ready enough for "prime-time", as the saying goes.

The Cygwin port of OpenSSH is another decent one.

The speed of time is one second per second.

Since putty is a simple .exe file i cant see how it should affect the
stability of your disk. Putty is pretty stable and full featured.

Hello,

I'm not sure why you post this to multiple unix related ng?

However, from my experience, using putty/secureCRT/whatever, is always
noticeable slower than connecting from UNIX -> UNIX. So go and install
a real OS, you can get a full Linux distro
for less then only this one program would cost.

Did you write a bugreport?

I have been using putty for about a year on many different windows machines (98SE, NT4
sp4 through sp6a,  and Win2000 Advanced Server, and Pro) with absolutely NO problems
what so ever.

moonie ;)

Hmm, funny. We have used it previous here, and had no
problem. {both the ssh1 and ssh2 version}
The only reason we changed for SecureCRT , was the
flexibillity of S-CRT.

for some reason theres some connections that  putty WILL establish that
securecrt wont, its odd, but if putty works, thats good enough for me :)
