    I ssh from windows all the time using putty for my client. It's a
    suberb program with great terminal emulation and color support. I've
    also used it with public key auth and s/key auth just fine as well.
    There is also a patch for gssapi/krb5 support, but it's a little more
    difficult, but I doubt even openssh on max os x has that.

    For file transfers, I'd have to double check to be sure, but I believe
    WinSCP was my choice client. It even fully integrates with windows
    explorer so I can copy files just as easily as the already built-in ftp
    support, but do it securely.

    And for graphics, I find tightvnc to be a great program to access a unix
    desktop with.

    P.S. I do still prefer to be in front of a real unix system, but
    accessing one isn't too much trouble from windows.

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
