My friend Mixa forwarded me via email yesterday's Security Update newsletter from Windows IT Pro Magazine, and said only “Search for Beau Monday.”
Doing that revealed this paragraph embedded in an article by Mark Joseph Edwards about using SSH to securely copy files from one system to another:
If you run Win2K Server, you can use Beau Monday's step-by-step guide, "Configuring OpenSSH (Win32) for Public Key Authentication." His guide is equally detailed and includes information about how to configure PuTTY, which is an open-source SSH command-line client for Windows platforms. The PuTTY package also includes a PuTTY Secure Copy (PSCP) client. If you use Monday's guide, take note that his link to OpenSSH for Windows is broken. The project has relocated to SourceForge, and you can find it by using the second URL below.
And then I went over to WindowsITPro.com, and saw the same article posted online as of yesterday.
The year-and-a-half old piece is the second most popular (by referrals) of my security articles on the blog (the most popular is the first MRTG how-to which was picked up by a couple online magazines). But it's still surreal to see anything I've written show up as a recommended guide for how to do a particular thing.
Which reminds me: I haven't written any security articles for a while. Now that the weather has turned crappy, I think I'll get back on that horse.
