SSH Secure Services on Windows 2K/XP?

Posted by Cliff on from the padlocking-the-packets dept.

jstockdale asks: "Lately I've been working on the security of the few Windows boxes I administer, specifically XP and 2000 stations. I havn't had much of a problem finding decent solutions for file/email/disk encryption (besides the fact that PGP is no longer selling their products), or for smartcard or smartcard+biometric solutions (besides the limitations on key size (2048-bit RSA maximum) and flexability). However when it comes to SSH services for remote administration, windows filesharing, and SFTP for file transfers I have hit a dead end. I have looked into SSH but their SSH for Windows Servers only runs on 2000, and costs $565. I ask what solutions have /.er's found in the realm of ssh network encryption, and also in integrating all these components simply and effectively."

    Check out cygwin. They have ports of most unix like apps and provide a framework for porting stuff. You might be able to find a solution there.

    You can find some more info about it here.

    Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.
