It's a suberb program with great terminal emulation and color support. I've also used it with public key auth and s/key auth just fine as well. There is also a patch for gssapi/krb5 support, but it's a little more difficult, but I doubt even openssh on max os x has that. For file transfers, I'd have to double check to be sure, but I believe WinSCP was my choice client. It even fully integrates with windows explorer so I can copy files just as easily as the already built-in ftp support, but do it securely. And for graphics, I find tightvnc to be a great program to access a unix desktop with. P.S. I do still prefer to be in front of a real unix system, but accessing one isn't too much trouble from windows. > > Chad > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- I sense much NT in you.
