I do a lot of remote administration on Linux boxes through an SSH connection... It this also possible on Windows 2003 server?

I prefer using SSH to administrate remote machines but have recently started working with Windows Server 2003. I have found SSHWindows <http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/> to be a useful SSH Server for windows. As the site describes, SSHWindows is a minimal Cygwin installation which only includes the necessary files for running an SSH Server.

I use this package just for the SFTP options that it gives me as I was unable find a method of securely transferring files to a Windows server that was flexible enough for my needs. This will also give you a command line prompt remotely, but using this option for remote administration may not be ideal because many of the configuration interfaces for windows applications are not available on the command line.

For the administration of IIS or other applications running on a Windows server I will typically use rdesktop which is an RDP client for *nix because it seems to be the only option for the administration of Windows servers.
