I win! I win I win!

At least, I think so...

A few days ago, mrpet backed up my desktop onto my laptop. Then, 7j reinstalled Windows, drivers, etc. It looks like my functionality is back. The computer is running so fast! No more weird error messages Also, now, finally I have XP Professional, so I can have features that are both secure and convenient.

So now I'm reinstalling the various things that I run on here.

Does anyone have an SSH program to recommend? It has to include SSH2, since that's how I access my email via pine. I've been using Absolute Telnet, but it's not my fave, because it bugs you to update to the newest version all the time. There's a new one every 13 months or so, just long enough for your update privileges to run out, so you have to pay for it again. I don't need something super-fancy, and I haven't even been able to tell the difference between the various versions.

Edit: And for that matter, what other freeware programs do you feel you simply can't live without?

Putty SSH (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) rocks and is free.

What she said. darxus would agree, as would most of my ex boyfriends.

Oh excellent! The last time I was using Putty, it didn't have ssh2, so when my web host upgraded, I couldn't use it anymore. Helooo Putty! I missed you!

I was recently saying to 7j that I have two approaches to finding a solution to a new problem. One is to read a book about it. The other is to ask someone I'm sleeping with to fix it.

For a graphical sftp I have been using CoreFTP. It's nice in that you can drag over a crap load of files and each file has it's own little progress bar so you can see where everything is at.

I use SecureCRT, but the license is $99.00, but I have an old 3.x license, and the binaries, they would probably be useful for you. They're in the name of the old Walt Disney group I used to work for that no longer exists (Imagineering)
