I routinely copy files to/from Windows to my Linux boxes, and the best way I've found is either use Dolphin and smb:// or use samba client from the command line.  Getting SSH/SCP/SFTP to work on Windows isn't trivial (at least it hasn't been) so I just skip that effort altogether.  Another method I've used it to share an external USB drive and use USB Anywhere to connect the Windows box to it.  Windows SSH support astonishingly still sucks badly so I don't bother trying to use that method.

I need a way to rebustly copy files from a Fedora server to a Windows box. As
my usual environment is Linux by first thought was SCP, using Perl and
Net::SCP.

I first tried an OpenSSH install from the WinSCP site and had managed to
connec to the Windows box using passwords, but could not get public keys to
work either way.

I then downloaded OpenSSH for Windows using the installer found at
http://www.mls-software.com/opensshd.html

Using this setup I can ssh from the Windows box to my Fedora server and it
logs in successfully using keys.  However, I still cannot connect from Fedora
to Windows.

Oddly, I do get the banner.txt file appear in the login attempt.
Also oddly, the attemp doesn't drop down to passwords when the keys fail even
though it has

PasswordAuthentication yes

in sshd_config.  Can anyone suggest what I try next.  Below is the terminal
session from the Fedora box.
