| Oct 14, 2011 at 9:46 | comment | added | Sam Cogan Mod | @Jerry Your answer does not add anything to the question "Is it possible to run a command on windows server from Linux?", your answer is a comment on the benefits of using Cygwin and SSH over other options. This should, therefore be a comment. | |
| Oct 14, 2011 at 7:17 | comment | added | Rob Moir | There's a tipping point between improving someone's answer and essentially writing one of your own, @Jerry, and I'm inclined to agree with Sam, you crossed that point. Your answer is much more comprehensive than the one you edited though, I would probably have turned that into an answer of your own if I were in your place. | |
| Oct 14, 2011 at 3:56 | comment | added | Jerry Asher | Gedanken Experiment to all those agreeing my edit was of not much value. If you had seen side by side the original two lines saying "use cygwin ssh" or my expanded answer saying "use cygwin ssh" and also detailing the various benefits and advising how to secure and automate the solution, which answer would you have voted for? As I've been saying the entire time, if you don't actually want people to improve the answer, you should remove that as an option. Just let people add comments. | |
| Oct 13, 2011 at 20:52 | comment | added | Jerry Asher | I disagree that it adds no more to the answer. Setup an ssh server sounds pretty daunting to many people. Is it simple? Is it difficult? What are the benefits? IN THIS CONTEXT, what are the benefits over the TELNET solution also offered? Telling someone how to secure and automate their solution further does not seem to be a opinion answer. | |
