Rogerio said:If you just want the SSH client , take a look at PuTTY .
PuTTY is a standalone SSH client.

Cygwin is a free and open-source software tool that allows users to run Linux and Unix-based applications on Windows operating systems. It is necessary to install Cygwin in order to install SSH because SSH is a Unix-based command-line tool that is not natively supported on Windows.
To install Cygwin, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to the official Cygwin website and download the setup file.
2. Run the setup file and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Select the packages you want to install, including the "openssh" package for SSH.
4. Click "Next" and then "Finish" to complete the installation process.
Yes, Cygwin allows you to use SSH to access remote computers, just like on a Linux or Unix-based system. You will need to have the necessary permissions and credentials to access the remote computer.
To verify that SSH is installed, you can open the Cygwin terminal and type in the command "ssh -V". This will display the version of SSH that is installed on your system. You can also try connecting to a remote computer using SSH to ensure that it is working properly.
Yes, you can uninstall Cygwin after installing SSH. However, this will also remove any other packages that were installed using Cygwin. If you only want to uninstall SSH, you can do so by going to the Cygwin installation directory and running the setup file again, then deselecting the SSH package.
