Re: recommendations for an SSH client?

[Adam Nave <nave () MACALESTER EDU>]

We use PuTTY on Windows computers for SSH, and WinSCP for file copies. I
like to use PuTTY Tray because it adds some nice features.

On Macs and Linux, we use built-in command line SSH and SCP. I have
recommended Fugu to Mac users in the past. It's just a gui front-end to the
built-in tools. There are a number of SSH session tools in linux, and many
FTP clients support scp too.
