Good advice but I would recommend using openssh instead of ssh2.  I am
using the Linux port and, not only is it open source under a BSD
license, it is considerably faster than ssh2.  It was a _lot_ easier
to get the RSA authentication working too.  Openssh supports the ssh 1
and ssh 1.5 protocols.  The win32 clients written for ssh 1 all seem
to work with openssh as well.
