SUMMARY

The discussion centers on installing SSH on Cygwin, specifically highlighting the use of PuTTY as a standalone SSH client. For users requiring an SSH server, the guide at http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html is recommended.

  • Follow the guide at http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html for setting up an SSH server
  • Learn about configuring SSH keys for secure connections

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

The official page:

If he wants an ssh server then PUTTY is not enough. Following this guide will allow you to go both ways http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html

If you don't want an ssh server, then either stick to putty or look for 'openssh' in the cygwin install.
