Question: How to use ssh & scp from the Windows command prompt?

I remember I installed a program in the past that let me do this but can't remember now what it was.

Note: I do not want to use putty.

New, resurrected project site (Win7 compability and more!): http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net

1st January 2012

  • OpenSSH for Windows 5.6p1-2 based release created!!
  • Happy New Year all! Since COpSSH has started charging I've resurrected this project
  • Updated all binaries to current releases
  • Added several new supporting DLLs as required by all executables in package
  • Renamed switch.exe to bash.exe to remove the need to modify and compile mkpasswd.exe each build
  • Please note there is a very minor bug in this release, detailed in the docs. I'm working on fixing this, anyone who can code in C and can offer a bit of help it would be much appreciated
