A few folks have already commented on the usefulness of ssh for shell access
to a Windows box. Let me add to that and say that other sshd functionality
also works quite well. I'm able to run a script to ssh to my Windows 2000
notebook and do an automated nightly backup from a Linux system using
forced-command logins.
scp also works as expected, allowing quick retrieval of files regardless of
the platform I happen to be working at.
I set up Cygwin expressly for the purpose of using sshd for exactly this
sort of thing, and I've been delighted at the results.
