Command Line SSH: Unix

OpenSSH is a FREE version of the SSH protocol suite of network connectivity tools that increasing numbers of people on the Internet are coming to rely on. Many users of telnet, rlogin, ftp, and other such programs might not realize that their password is transmitted across the Internet unencrypted, but it is. OpenSSH encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other network-level attacks. Additionally, OpenSSH provides a myriad of secure tunneling capabilities, as well as a variety of authentication methods.

SCP (Secure CoPy) client only - can not execute programs or files.

WinSCP is freeware SCP (Secure CoPy) client for Windows 95/98//NT/2000 using SSH (Secure SHell). Its main purpose is safe copying files between local and remote computer. Beyond this basic function, WinSCP manages some other actions with files.

WinSCP interface is based on Norton Commander. A local folder is displayed in the left panel and a remote folder in the right panel. Appearance of the file list is the same as it is in Windows Explorer using detailed view. WinSCP can do all basic operations with files, such as copying and moving (to and from a remote computer). It also allows you to rename files and folders (on both remote and local computer), create new folders (on both remote and local computer), change access rights (only on remote computer) and change groups (only on remote computer).
