My 0.02c additional support for PUTTY. It's great, and you can carry it with you on a floppy! Pop in the floppy and double click on the file, or drag it to the desktop if you like - there is no hassle with Installshield and all that other cr@p you usually have with windoze apps. PS: Putty has a sister called PSCP which does SCP from a widoze client. PUTTY and PSCP together are less than 400k !!!
