is there a good and comfortable ssh terminal emulation for Windows?
I want to connect to a ubuntu server and work remotely like i can do
with ssh -Y . I am currently using cygwin for this, but it takes up a
lot of space and it lacks some features that would be nice.
tl,dr:
I am looking for a terminal client for windows, that
- does Ssh with Xserver - grafical
- copies files ( works as a ssh client like winssh )
- basically behaves as if i sat before the (ubuntu) computer
I think what you're looking for is VNC and not ssh.

Reading your requirements, you could consider running cygwin, that will give you the ability to run some Linux programs in Windows, including xterm. As a bonus, you can use bash instead of the normal windows shell.
For SSH you can use putty. To copy files there's WinSCP. To run X programs there's any number of X servers for Windows, like Xming or Exceed. You might also want to use VNC to connect to an existing X session (you need to run a VNC server on your Ubuntu computer and a VNC client on Windows). These are all very different and cannot replace one another.

I have around 100 windows machine(VMs), All the machines have few updates for chrome , notepad/notepad++ , Firefox ,Jenkins which have not been installed from long time, Is there a way to install updates in all the machines without going to each application specifically and updating.
can we log into each machine and execute any command so that all the update for applications is installed?
Basically want to trigger auto-update in all the windows machines.
You will need to put a lot of effort, but it's doable.
You need to know how to update each application via command line. And when you have all the commands. And you can do updates on single Windows instance. You can use Enter-PSsession or Invoke-Command (for HyperV guest) / Invoke-VMScript (for ESX guest)

I was just about to try sshing for the first time and before I get into it, I want to know what's the best way to go about it. In particular, I'm currently running Linux through crouton on an HP chromebook and I want to ssh into and old windows 7 pc. Ideally I would love to have some sort of bash shell inside the windows ssh as I'm not so confident with cmd but I can make do. Are there any packages/apps that I should install on my old pc before I start trying. Preferably if there was something like WSL but for windows 7 that'd be great but I can't seem to find anything like it.
there is no ssh daemon (service) for windows from Microsoft.
So installing shell on windows, it is only about run it locally.
To connect with ssh on remote windows, you should install 3rd party ssh server on windows.

I have VMware Fusion 5 installed on my Mac, and have software installed on the Windows partition, that for various reasons, I would like to use via the Mac OSX Terminal rather than going through the VMware Fusion GUI of logging into my Windows VM and running command prompt and then running the software. I would prefer it if Terminal could access the windows command prompt of the vm machine, so that I can run the software from my Mac directly. I am happy to have them/would expect the Mac and Windows machines to be running side by side simultaneously.
Is this possible? I.e. can the Mac OSX Terminal access the VM Windows partition command prompt directly? And if so, how would one do this?
I had considered ssh but that seemed long-winded sending data backwards and forwards via the internet given that it is on a local machine and considered that there must be another/smarter alternative...also wasn't really sure it would work ssh'ing into from a Mac to Windows machine...
p.s. Sorry if SO isn't quite the right forum, and that there isn't quite a reproducible example, but have tried to explain the situation carefully to allow the community to help if possible. But if there is a better way to get a solution to my problem by either migrating or suggesting edits to the question that will make it a better question I would be more than happy to do so.
vmrun is the function that needs to be use used. I found it after a bit more searching...so the following will pretty much do the job...
/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun -T fusion -gu <user\ name> -gp <password> runProgramInGuest /Users/<hostUserName>/Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/Virtual\ Machines/Boot\ Camp/Boot\ Camp.vmwarevm/Boot\ Camp.vmx -interactive -noWait -activeWindow C:\\Windows\\Notepad.exe C:\\testing.txt
This link is quite useful http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vix162_vmrun_command.pdf

It is common that programmers will need to interface with virtual-machines in their day-to-day workflows, and one popular way of doing so on Linux and Windows systems is with virt-manager.
Is their a way to get virt-manager or a similar alternative running on a MacOS machine?
There's now a brew formula homebrew-virt-manager which I've used to successfully connect to a CentOS 5 box running qemu+kvm.
brew tap jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager
brew install virt-manager virt-viewer
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2
virt-manager -c qemu+ssh://user#libvirthost/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
sadly no, you can however install virt-manager on a linux box and run it on your mac desktop through vnc and X11.
what you need to do is start X11, open xterm (command + N), type ssh -X user#linux-box, then type virt-manager once logged on.
Same problem here, tried several solutions and workarounds, and found that for managing virtual machines on a remote Qemu/KVM server nothing is as reliable and comfortable than a GNU/Linux system running virt-manager.
Our best solution so far is to install Virtualbox in MacOS to run a Lubuntu LTS system with virt-manager.
We found Lubuntu excellent for this purpose: it just works, it's easy to use and requires few resources to run (it can use less than 300 MB of RAM to run virt-manager and 3-4 SPICE clients). You can save this Virtualbox machine state when you don't need it, and restore it in a few seconds when needed.
Moreover, there's irony in running a virtual machine locally to manage remote virtual machines! :-)
Update
Someone prepared a vagrantfile to quickly setup an Ubuntu virtual machine and run virt-manager via ssh. See:
https://st-g.de/2016/08/virt-manager-in-vagrant
AFAIK no, but you can use it alright if you do this:
install (in the host) the NoMachine NX server
install the NX client on your mac
login from the mac
fix the keyboard issues following these instructions
open virt-manager in the gnome session in your server/host (that you are using via the NX client)
have fun

Most of the windows SFTP clients (like FileZilla) seem to be GUI-based. I need something I can call from batch files.
pscp and psftp are very customizable(options) and light weight. Open source to boot.
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
WinSCP has the command line functionality:
c:\>winscp.exe /console /script=example.txt
where scripting is done in example.txt.
See http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_automation
Refer to http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_automation_advanced for details on how to use a scripting language such as Windows command interpreter/php/perl.
FileZilla does have a command line but it is limited to only opening the GUI with a pre-defined server that is in the Site Manager.
Cygwin + sftp/scp natrually
WinSCP can be called from batch file:
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /console
Example commands:
option batch on
option confirm off
option transfer binary
open sftp://username#hostname:port -hostkey="ssh-rsa "
www.bitvise.com - sftpc is a good command line client also.
LFTP is great, however it is Linux only. You can find the Windows port here. Never tried though.
Achtunq, it uses Cygwin, but everything is included in the bundle.
bitvise tunnelier works really well
This little application does the job for me. I could not find another CLI based client that would access my IIS based TLS/SSL secured ftp site:
http://netwinsite.com/surgeftp/sslftp.htm
Filezilla is great and it can support command line arguments.
