rz and sz

I've set up a development server on my local network that I will use to build and test websites before uploading them to a live webserver. I connect to the machine via an ssh connection and would like to send and receive files via rz and sz. Normally a simple scp would do, but the client machine is running Windows 2000.

Where can I go to download the packages to install rz and sz on the server?

get ssh and scp for windows and forget about sz/rz (hint: search google for "putty"). they are a 20yrs old protocol that was designed for bbs systems and works worse than ftp!

I tend to disagree here. Zmodem is a great protocol w/ error checking and correcting and it can even resume, not all ftp servers support this feature. But obviously I would never dare using it other than on a raw serial link.

afaik error checking is implemented in the IP layer, so why double it? (... unless you are on a raw line, as mentioned)

agreed on the resume option. it´s a shame that not every ftp server does support it! do you know if scp does? (had a short glance at the man page, seems like it does not!?)

and to answer kingmike´s question: http://www.google.com/search?q=rz+sz - it´s the first hit (german google pops up automatically for me )...
afaik for using it over tcp/ip you also need to use telnet (can´t tell if it works for windows though), netcat or a similar package.
then again - netcat can do the job alone...

Many thanks ...

Thanks a bunch guys. I really apprecieate the responses. I was unaware that rz and sz were so old and archaic. I use them freequently at work and was just looking for a quick solution other than FTP.

I wound up running a search on Google for an scp client for the Windows enviornment and found WinSCP (http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/). It provides a pretty cool ftp like interface and it's Freeware.

Cheers,
Mike
