In our environment the "owners" of the Intranet expressly forbid using SSH on our filers. I am also expressly forbidden to use any form of shareware or freeware and I do not wish to purchase a software package for this one task.

I agree totally. I don't mean to lean on anyone to change anything, just wanted to point out there are decent free ssh utilities for windows. (I use SecureCRT personally as I've used it for a long time, but it's not free.)

Yes, yes, but ...

It seems quite inappropriate to lean on William to convert from rsh to ssh until we know what the cause of his 5-minute cutoff is. For all we know, it will apply just as much to ssh as to rsh. If it's an "idle"-TCP-connection detector somewhere, it probably will.
