I frequently ssh from my Xubuntu laptop into my iMac, and use scp to transfer files ect.

Is there any way I can do something similar with my work laptop? Putty keeps on dropping connections.

Why can't windows even do basic local networking?

install gentoo

But you can use linux on windows now

cygwin?

Found your problem.

Surely there's a simpler way than installing a virtual machine to achieve a working ssh? God I hate windows so much.

Well, since it's ssh it's more like UNIX shit. Windows pajeets are retarded.

Ok, how would you SSH into a Windows computer from a linux laptop?

God I hate working with Putty

first search result in google, my dude.

what's a google?

I'm more of a clay guy myself

lol

Putty does drop connections unless you select your session->connection->put a non-zero value in "seconds between keepalives". I had the same problem OP but now I love putty

Why use putty when WSL is a thing?

SMB is windows’ default local network file sharing option and pretty well supported in OSX and Linux.
Running a local FTPd is easy to set up too and platform independent.
If you want to use SCP (though SFTP is nicer anyway), putty is imo not the most reliable client. There is WinSCP which does what you need pretty well.

Use mobaxterm, has a built in scp file transfer, and the free version should suit your needs.

you can local group the computer for that

It's not actually a virtual machine, the Linux kernel calls are translated, but I agree, windows is shit

What's linux equivalent of smb?

Linux can do SMB too, with Samba

Yeah, but what's linux exclusive way of file transfer, if there's any?

Would I be off-base if I tried to describe this to my Linux brethren as "it's a Wine-like compatability layer"?

Putty on Windows works well.

Your network is shit. Are you using wireless?

You wouldn't, that's pretty much what it is.

Learn to use it, you asshole

It's even worse than cygwin, you can't do shit

it's your work network, op. That has nothing to do with Windows, which usually only has wireless issues.

for a quick transfer my favorite way is using
python3 -m http.server

but it's shit for streaming, i can't use seek for some reason

samba is the best for streaming, it's actually pretty easy to set up too.
