scp for windows is available, see http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.
putty is a win ssh client, its free but a little too simple for me. pscp is a windoze scp client which I like. Here's the faq, http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html.
.. which is leading us WAY off topic. * telnet (along with FTP) is not insecure.n itself Perhaps the use or implementations are insecure, but I'm pretty sure I've seen some ssh-related security bugs. * show me a way to break telnet, and I'm sure to find a way to break ssh (yes, those who follow the news will go "but that relies on dumb users!" but I *bet* anyone who runs a decent sized ISP will attest to their users stupidity - or they wouldn't need a helpdesk...) * Yes, the FTP protocol might be ancient, but so is TCP. And yes, TCP has had some overhauls but the basic principle is there, just like in FTP (which if I remember my history correctly was originally designed to work over NCP..) This thread is irrelevant to NANOG. If you want to learn more about it, I suggest you start by buying a book like "Applied Cryptography" - which explains concepts such as trust relationships as well as "cryptography" (and can be used to prove telnet is secure/insecure in situations just as much as ssh is secure/insecure in situations.) *sigh*.
