 ==== A recommended ssh client for Windows ====
+[[other:win10apps#putty_pageant|Putty]] is a nice and convenient //ssh client// for Windows
 ===== Just transferring files =====
+Sometimes you just need to copy files from one server to the other. The files can be securely copied //over ssh// with the ''scp'' command
+Note: if you work with big data files, you should keep the files were they are instead of duplicating them, and move the data processing (your scripts, etc...) to the server where the files are located (e.g. the ciclad server)
 ===== Using ssh keys =====
