I am a little new to cron jobs and need to set one up using SSH. Which program is best to use for this? (free if possible). I am running vista 64 bits and will be connecting to a linux server.
One of the best sites containing reviews of all ssh softwares is http://ssh.software.informer.com/ I agree PUTTY might be an option or SSH Secure Shell if you need extra security.
you should always have on your desktop putty winscp winmtr secure crt if using cisco console equipments.
Putty is free and works. But if you have a lot of servers or need to maintain a lot of connections, SecureCRT is definitely the way to go.
