Re: open vs. commercial ssh

Personally, I've never understood the practical reasons for switching to openSSH in a non-commercial environment. (If that doesn't get me flamed,
I dunno what will).  It comes with several distros now, but can be
removed.

I use ssh.com's non-comm version, and figured if they ever start charging or change the licensing, I'd switch to openSSH at that point. Of course,
I've had it for some time and have scripts, etc, designed to work with
publickey authentication.

Thanks,

I really can't stand some of the features of OpenSSH.  I liked how the
commercial version allowed me to get directories, and didn't complain.

If someone could tell me how to set up open ssh to do that, I'd
appreciate it.

Here is the error that I get while using an openSSH client and server:

Another nuisance is not being able to tab complete file names.

Is there a work around for that?

Thanks!
