For whatever reason Microsoft does not package any ssh/scp clients with any version of windows. In fact in Vista they did not put telnet defaultly into the OS!

  1. Download Putty and Pscp from here
  2. Rename Putty to ssh and pscp to scp
  3. Copy these two files to your windows folder normaly c:\windows. If you have problems finding it put it in %windir%.
  4. Now go into your command prompt and you can type ssh computerhere and it will launch a ssh session! Or scp user@computer:path savelocation.
