[oclug] SSH/SCP (was: Securing a sysem) [was: knark attack]

Thanks for pointing out my error about Windows SSH2 clients.  Not only does
SecureCRT support SSH2, but so does the free PuTTY (as someone else pointed out
I believe).  You're right tho - I'm not interested in shareware; I want
freeware :)

I just tried PuTTY last night, and it seems to work fine, even though it lacks
any real documentation.  The weird thing is that now I can use pscp (PuTTY's
SCP CLI client) and it works fine, but I can't seem to get scp to work on
Linux via SSH2 :(  I am using the following syntax:
  e.g.
  scp localfile username at host.net:~
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong (me thinks it is just a syntax error) ?
