Yeah, I like this trick.  And it worked for a while.  Beautifully, I should
add, except when Windows did its stupid media preview thing that took
forever while navigating through directories.

Then that idiot IT team at my university cut it off, I assume through
packet filtering rules.  (I wish they'd focus on getting things working
that they're supposed to be supplying instead.)

 Gary,
If you're just trying to do file transferring/sharing in a local 
 'secure' network, I suggest Samba in place of scp. You might also want to 
 consider Samba + VPN as well; scp is great for porting files over long 
 distances, or a last resort for dealing with Unix = Windows transferring, 
 but just seems incredibly kludgey when dealing with files/directories 
 otherwise (having to maintain an ssh connection, having to install a 
 scp/ssh client per machine for instance are what I consider kludgey).
 Cheers,
 -Garrett

My trick for this is that I got some Windows system somewhere to install
PuTTY (and some other nice to have software) on my memory stick.  I just
plug it in when I have to deal with a Windows system.

 OK - there are two scenarios:
 
 1) Running the command from a Windows command shell to/from BSD
   (really pscp, right? - that's what comes with putty):

Turns out there is a new kf151.zip that I found in the wee hours.
I dl'd it, unzip'd and ran it, then printed two hardcopies of the
key.  Now, when I junk the old box and get a newer one, I'll
have a legal copy for my old, junker hardware.  Play my learn-French

OK - there are two scenarios:

1) Running the command from a Windows command shell to/from BSD
  (really pscp, right? - that's what comes with putty):

 pscp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:sourcefile localfile   - Copies file from BSD to

 pscp localfile [EMAIL PROTECTED]:destfile - Copies local file to BSD

  This should work out of the box assuming there are no authentication
  or firewall problems in the way.  If you're running WinXP/Vista
  you may have to open the Windows firewall to permit this.  You
  can see what's going on by having pscp be verbose by sticking
  a -v flag into the command:

pscp -v .

2) Running the command from BSD to/from Windows

   This is harder.  You have to be running a ssh daemon (sshd)
   on your Windows machine.  This is very doable, but you'll
   need something like cygwin to get sshd for Windows and then
   you'll have to configure it appropriately.  The good thing
   about this (although it is kind of a pain) is that it gets
   around an interesting limitation in WinDoze.  Microsoft does
   allow you to telnet into your Windows client machine but it
   only allows ONE such login at a time (because, if you wanted
   more than one login, surely you need WinDoze Server ... which
   is WAY more money).  If you install sshd on your machine, you
   now have more-or-less unlimited logins via ssh from other machines.
   Similarly, on Windows Server, you probably need a CAL for each
   telnet connection.  I do not quite understand Microsoft's licensing
   terms (does anyone?), but it _may_ be the case that running sshd
   on a Windows Server and using ssh to get to it _may_ get you
   around paying for extra CALs. YLFMV (Your Legal Fees May Vary).

You didn't provide any particulars (in the future, an exact description
of what is- and is not working is VERY useful for those of us trying
to help ;), but, if I had to guess, I'd say you're having one of two
problems:

   1) You're trying to do the file copy from BSD to/from Windows
  and you don't have an sshd daemon running on Win32.

   2) You're trying initiate the copy from Windows (which should work),
  but the Windows firewall is blocking the connection.

HTH,

P.S. If anyone tells anyone else that I know this stuff about Windows
 I will deny it loudly and come looking for you.  I do not need
 any more conversations that start with, Oh, you're a computer
 engineer - I have this problem with my/childrens'/wife's/dog's
 Windows machine... :)
