If you had Windows 2000 and were going to use SSH to remotely manage a
Linux website, which SSH software would you choose?

plink (no, that's not plonk).

PuTTY is quite popular. Cygwin comes with ssh.

I use Cygwin as my shell on Windows, so I'd use the ssh and sftp tools
that come with that. Otherwise, PuTTY and PSFTP
(http://www.putty.nl/download.html) are fine choices.
If you want pure Java SSH client, there is JSch
(http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/index.html).

PuTTY for commandline access.
WinSCP as a file manager (ala Norton Commander) with SFTP functionality.

Putty works great for me....
I use VNC tunneled through a Putty SSH tunnel.

PuTTY over Cygwin every time.
Just because the clipboard cut and paste works from a single keystroke.
The "mark and paste by menu" idea was always broken in the Windows
command box - I've no idea why Cygwin emulated this same behaviour.
You'll probably want _both_ PuTTY and Cygwin installed, you'll just use
PuTTY on the remote box and only use Cygwin for the local machine.

Just out of curiosity: which *key*-stroke do you use to copy/paste?
FWIW: In Windows I can copy and paste with the right *mouse*-button in
the PuTTY window. The same is possible in a DOS-window (CMD.exe) and a
Cygwin window (which is in fact a DOS command window). You have to
enable 'Quick Edit', though.

I've absolutely no idea! I'd have to ask my fingertips and the
hindbrain in my tail.
It's whatever the control/shift insert/delete combo is (annoys me that
I have to use the control-v alternatives in jEdit too).

I was vaguely aware of this, but never use it. I just don't use meece
in text windows.

Really! Never knew that... Explains a fair bit, I guess.
