VMS and Windows. While it exists for Windows, it typically isn't a simple command line utility like OpenSSH. For example, I don't know if PuTTY is scriptable. Anyhow, encryption is not necessary. There's nothing secret passing back and forth. The main thing to defend against is a man-in-the-middle attack which is handled by the simple public/private key authentication I mentioned earlier. > Thing is who is going to give access to their machine(s) via some ad. hoc. > scheme?
