Question:
How to use ssh & scp from the Windows command prompt?
I remember I installed a program in the past that let me do this but can't remember now what it was.
Note:
I do not want to use putty.
New, resurrected project site (Win7 compability and more!): http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net
1st January 2012
OpenSSH for Windows 5.6p1-2 based release created!!
Happy New Year all! Since COpSSH has started charging I've resurrected this project
Updated all binaries to current releases
Added several new supporting DLLs as required by all executables in package
Renamed switch.exe to bash.exe to remove the need to modify and compile mkpasswd.exe each build
Please note there is a very minor bug in this release, detailed in the docs. I'm working on fixing this, anyone who can code in C and can offer a bit of help it would be much appreciated
Cygwin can give you this functionality.
Try WinScp
Give http://www.privateshell.com/ a shot.

I need to automate the updating/installation of MS patches in some remote machines.
I can't use MDT because there is already a different subsystem handling mass software/patch distribution on all the workstations.
Therefore the easiest/fastest way would be to connect with a script to each machine and run a command (if it exists) that would start updating the system just as if a user had clicked Control Panel/Windows Update/Update now...
I searched and found the wuauclt utility which I try to run on a machine and check if it works and it just doesn't do anything.
I tried doing
wuauclt /a /detectnow
and then
wuauclt /r
It doesn't report that "The command does not exist" or anything like that. It just doesn't output anything at all and I see no updates being installed in the background.
Any ideas?
I read this article yesterday, I think it might be able to help you. Please give it a look and let me know if it helps.

I inherited a headache. I have a small legacy (GUI) app that was developed 10 years ago and the VB6 source code is long gone. It works currently on a couple of old XP PCs and I was asked to see if I could get it working on Windows 7 64bit. Well… that was a no go, so I tried a 32bit version to verify that 64 wasn’t the issue and it didn’t work. So I then created an XP virtual machine and it didn’t work either. The issue is the same on all three environments. You double click the .exe and nothing is displayed but when you look under task manager, it’s there and pegging the CPU.
I downloaded Dependency Walker and it seems that all the required dlls and OCX files are there. Can anyone suggest anything else? I’m really at a loss here. Anything would be appreciated!
The standard approach is to download and run ProcessMonitor, set it to filter just your executable, run your executable and ProcessMonitor will capture what DLLs/Files/ Registry settings are being used by your application.
Have you confirmed you have the VB6 runtime files installed?

I'm not sure if they are included in Win7 anymore and they were only in XP in one of the later service packs.

I have a program installed on windows 7 in my laptop. I wish to install the same program on windows 7 in my desktop. unfortunately, I don't have the source file with me anymore. How can I copy the entire program from one machine to another machine and make it run?
It depends on the program if that's possible or not.
You would have to know, which parts the installer copied to your computer and to which directories. Even then it is possible that the installer checked for prerequisites, found them on the laptop, but are missing on the desktop computer.
You can try to copy the files from the %ProgramFiles% directory, but it is poor luck if that works and you can't be sure that it works correctly. So your best option is to organise the installer package again.
see How to Copy a Program From One Computer to Another Without a Startup Disk.I hope it will work.

I noticed that the lastest version of git has a windows version.
Does this version still use MSYS/Cygwin, or has a more native port been created?
That is to say, does the current windows version of git, still have numerous shell scripts that it depends upon, or has the code been all ported to native executables.
Thanks
The msysGit-fullinstall-1.7.3.1-preview20101002.exe full installer will install everything you need to compile Git on Windows.
That will allow you to see what exact libraries it needs.
As the wiki page on "Working on Git" shows, it is still based on mingw:
'mingw' is the repository Hannes Sixt set up starting with Dscho's rudimentary (and only half-working, but self-hosting nevertheless) MinGW port.
'4msysgit' (the default remote) is our fork of mingw, which basically has fixes we needed for msysGit.

I've got it configured, but I want more from it...maybe Cygwin isn't the right tool, but I like how it provides a *nix-like environment within Windows.
If you've already read the Cygwin User Guide, take a look at Ten Steps To Higher Cygwin Productivity.
Also, if you're using a shell such as bash in Cygwin, and you're familiar with Emacs, consider using Eshell (the Emacs shell) instead.
I've found Cygwin to be very useful in the past. FWIW, lately however I've shied away from it in favor of the following:
XAMPP
Unixutils
I like these tools even better.
I'm quite interested in this question myself. I've used the Cygwin Setup guide to get set up, but it doesn't get you all the way. One thing that I learned from it, though, is that it recommends leaving the setup.exe in the directory with Cygwin so that you can quickly add packages, since apt-get apparently doesn't work that well in Cygwin. The article also talks about cyg-get as an alternative.
