Openssh for Windows

[Patel Dippen-CDP054]

Chris,

Agree. Our proposal is to use SSL natively (IPSec creates other problems
for us). However, I have to provde some analysis on why SSH is not
suitable. Believe the lack of a openware, stable and secured SSH server
for Windows itself suffices.

IPSec is probably the best tool for this job. Adding SSH tunneling and
port forwarding to the mix will only complicate matters, probably not
perform as well, and subtly changes semantics of things like connect()
which could break your application in odd ways.

Cheers, Chris.
