Re: Secure Shell on the 400

James & James,

I would agree that transferring to a PC is a viable option. On the PC side you
don't have to go with Linux. I use Putty on Windows, which you can download
here:

You can get documentation here:

http://www.tartarus.org/~simon/puttydoc/Contents.html

You can get a command line ssh here:

None that I know of, but the QSHELL stuff might have something.

Any reason why you can't ftp your files to your favorite
linux/sun/other-decent-os and then scp from there?  If you don't already
have a unix machine installed somewhere I highly recommend putting in a
cheap linux machine for just these kind of uses.  You may be amazed at how
useful it ends up being.
