Have you tried the scp command from the OpenSSH package? I need secure fi le copy from CMS more than I need a secure terminal session. But 'ssh target
"command to execute at target"' would be nice to execute from CMS. I can deal with generating the public/private keys on one of my Linux svms or o n a linux/86 platform. Were you able to use some of the commands from the OpenSSL package, such as to encrypt a data file with some public/private key? /Tom Kern /301-903-2211 On Thu, 1 Feb 2007 12:43:08 -0500, Richard Troth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Yeah ... we need an SSH client too.
