SSH and Windows

[jemmett]

I am trying to set up a SSH connection from a Windows to a Unix box. I need the connection to pass an XML document. However I need this to be an automated process triggered by an ASP page. Any ideas how to automate a SSH connection on Windows?

OpenSSH was ported to Windows. www.networksimplicity.com/openssh/

That may help.

if your using the HTTP protocol (calling an asp page an all) and using the same protocol to transfer the document... why not just use https?

SSH is just FTP with SSL encryption. It has no corolation with HTTP. If you want to encrypt an HTTP session, just use HTTPS. You will need to get a digital certificate from VeriSign or Thawte. Don't use SSH, unless you want to download files with an encrypted session.

ssh is rsh using encryption. Many things can be sent over ssh. I use rsync to backup my system onto another system tunneled over ssh. Depending on what exactly jemmett wants to do (not too sure about XML) either https or ssh could be used. If he finds the ssh method easier there are plenty of utilities for him out there. There is however an sFTP which is ftp over an encrypted tunnel which may fit your definition there.

I'm not a web-programmer. That said, I think the direction you're headed is towards:

Browser -> ASP -> (D)COM object -> ???remote access protocol -> Unix server.

The COM object should be able to encapsulate almost anything you want, including a perl script (or something else) with s/ftp or http/s.
