Freesshd for using SCP to a Windows Machine

To install Freesshd, run the install using admin privileges, else you will repeatedly get less-privilege-related errors.

In your windows firewall, check that Freesshd service is allowed.

Open Freesshd and check that login is allowed for the user you want to use ssh with.

Worked fine for me, except that Hudson has a dependency on Java. For installing Java I followed:

Turning off annoying beep on Suse Linux

This does not work.
First thing was to turn off the annoying beep. Followed the instructions at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-linux-disable-or-turn-off-beep-sound-for-terminal/ 

Open you ~/.inputrc file (i.e. /home/you/.inputrc file
$ cd
$ vi .inputrcAppend following line:
set bell-style none

Save and close the file.

After this I needed to reboot for the beep to go off (most likely logoff and then login would be sufficient).
