SCP Copy Client

OK so most of our functionality is working and no new drivers have been required despite running with the system for several days. Next problem encountered surrounds use of SCP protocol to copy files around between our laptop and business server systems.

Examined a number of offerings in the Linux based client arena and none of these seemed to match up to the functionality of WinSCP an excellent windows based product.

Attempted to get the program working on Wine within Linux and initially this didn't work. Great news however, having set the executable to be run under Windows 98 within Wine the client works like a dream. This is set using the Applications tab of the Wine configuration program - another big success.
