I'm trying to setup a number of windows systems at work to upload files to a central Linux server using scp and authorized keys to allow for hands-off automation.<br><br>I started with PuTTY's "pscp.exe", but it has some drawbacks I can't work around:<br>
* The first time it connects, it asks if the ssh fingerprint is OK. It won't let you use a command line switch to work around this.<br> * All connection information is stored in the registry. I'd really like to use something that stores this in simple text files.<br>
* The identification key that comes from the Linux server has to be modified with PuttyGen to convert it to their format.<br><br>I looked at WinSCP, but it needs the PuttyGen converted keys too.<br> * Each location will be reporting back to a different server with a different admin, so creating a new key for the client based on their server is going to add a lot of overhead to my end.<br>
<br>CygWin crossed my mind, but it's a lot more than I'd like to have my users install.<br><br>Can anyone point me to a free/gpl/oss command line client for Windows systems that performs just the scp/sftp function using an OpenSSH key format and saves the configuration information in text files?<br clear="all">
<br>I had hoped that the OpenSSH.org folks would have released a Windows command-line version of their tools, but all their links point me to GUI clients.<br><br>On a side topic, anyone ever tackled cross-compiling a Win32 text-only program under Linux? :-)<br>
