Theres a windows version, mac is under vauge development. SSH is pretty cool, but the code base is somewhat messy, and its shows signs of its origins in things like systems calls not having their return values checked.

Despite all this, I use it, like it, and recomend it for use in systems not likely to come under attack by professionals.

I actually think its probably okay even for systems that might come under professional attack -- I don't recommend it for use on systems that are mission critical, though, like systems running transactions and such. Indeed, I don't recommend running ANYTHING on such systems unless you are really, really, really careful about what you are running and where you are running it from. .pm
