[Bug 407801] Re: Putty Breaks FireFTP If Firefox Is 64-bit

[Colin Watson]

Well, if nothing else, we ship them on Ubuntu, in the putty-tools
package, and we shouldn't be rejecting bugs on programs we ship in
Ubuntu on the basis that people shouldn't be using them!  You might not
have a use for them, but uses include:

  * http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#faq-unix-
why

  * PSCP uses the SFTP protocol rather than the ancient rcp-inspired scp
"protocol", which has many unfixable bugs, and so I can well believe
that people might prefer it over scp.  There's been some work in OpenSSH
to turn sftp into a drop-in replacement for scp, but it hasn't landed
yet.
