Ipcop - SSH client ???

Ok have a problem that i am attempting to solve the easy way. I use IpCop as a firewall and have SSH access to it. There is only one thing i really want to do and that is reboot a windows/linux box on my green network while on the road.

I read that i can install OpenSSH on my windows box and then SSH to it from the firewall box. (http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/)

BUT the problem is that it doesnt seem that the IpCOP box has SSH client on it. Is this the case?

Any suggestions?
 
Personally I wouldn't allow external ssh connections to my firewall.

I prefer to use port forwarding to my desktop and if I need to access the firewall then I'll ssh from that. Trying to avoid having as many services running as possible on a firewall is a good idea... (the default port for ssh is 22, if you want it's pretty easy to stick it on a non-standard port to avoid those automated scanners from filling up your logs)
 
Already have non standard port for SSH.

All personal preference i guess but:
i trust my IpCop box SSH connection more than i do a port fwd to my windows box. TO ME getting into my green network via a port fwd is more of a security risk than SSH to my red interface to gain access to my green. BUT if you get though either one, my network is compromised.
