Buy? Free ssh for windows abound. There's even at least one scp, though the one I have in mind does not support RSA keys, which is not the default for our sshd anyway. Since people have been naming names, here is more one: TeraTerm Pro with SSH enhancement. Supports RSA, TIS, forwarding, X servers, and up to vt320 and vt382, including <gasp> colors.

This is a whole lot better then Since we have some nice daily/weekly/monthly scripts, can we add this function to then, with any likely knobs and turned off by default? -- Daniel C.
