That's thr sort of experience I've had with cygwin in the past. Having said that, I haven't tried it in a *long* time.

I am still looking for a solution to provide me with a working sftp server which is really the only bit I need from SSH (*) but for now I'm making do with sharing the folder from the Win7 box and mounting it using a fstab entry on the server. (*) it would be nice to have ssh access to the server so that I could integrate/automate other tasks using Perl and Net::SSH -- users mailing list users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
