en.jakilinux.org — The article describes in a human language some of the powerful, yet very useful (even for total newbies) capabilities of OpenSSH, such as passwordless login, automatic execution of commands on a remote system or even mounting a remote folder using SSH.

What leads you to believe most people use SFTP? I never saw any point to using it. Does it offer any advantages over SCP? I personally perfer command line utilities vs. interactive programs. It makes them more useful in scripts.

- Most people use SFTP, not SCP.Who?SFTP is perhaps the next step for users that upgraded from FTP access to a hosted web server, but I suspect most ssh users have migrated from the r commands and are using scp in place of rcp.Comparison...<a class="user" href="http://winscp.net/eng/docs/protocols#protocol_comparison">http://winscp.net/eng/docs/protocols#protocol_comparison</a>My favorite tool though is rsync.

there is some bad advice in this article. you should never employ no-password keys with ssh. the password requirement is still the strongest security imposition you can make. if you don't use it, what are you really protecting against...eavesdropping?

Windows + Cygwin + OpenSSH = good.I use it ALL the time... WinXP & OpenSSH on my home box, PuTTY at college.No need for *nix at all!

no Bogtha, i "know" how this works. with no password keys, anyone who inherits your environment through sh/bash hacks can now roam the network as you, and i don't mean by just sitting at your desk when you get up to pee. ask a devoted security nut to demonstrate this sometime. and please don't assume other people "don't understand".
