SSH comes standard for any Linux Distribution, but it has been challenging to find a command line SSH client that is not Putty and is not from the cygwin distribution for Windows (XP). That is to say, I just want to fire up a command window prompt and use ssh with the same options as on linux. Well, I found free ssh client which is part of
cwRsync. Just unzip it and put it into a directory and for good measure make sure that that path is in your environment path like so:
Right-click on my computer, go to Advanced ->Environment Variables -> System variables -> Path
Now you can do ssh from the command line on XP as easily as Linux.

No. This version of SSH.EXE is from Cygwin. You will notice the Cygwin DLLs in the same directory as SSH and SSH-KEYGEN, after you have installed cwRsync 4.0.2.
Thanks daev!
