BTW: do you have a password for the 'user' acount on the N900? Perhaps winscp refuses to work if the password field id empty? You can remedy that with 'passwd user' from the n900 commandline.

telnet isnot a recognise command in win 7 cmd!

not sure what u meant with passwd user from the n900?? when i installed openssh it asked for a password, have tried with and with out the password in the feild and also with user as the username!

will have a look at the other win7 ssh client u mention!

i do have ubuntu on this laptop, im guessing its worth a try using that, so could some one do me a quick quide to setting up ssh with ubuntu?

and i do appreciate all the help given
