Colasoft Ping Tool 1.2

If you want a graphical version of the ping tool that comes with most operating systems, the Colasoft Ping Tool provides a GUI tool that, in addition to providing the standard information provided by ping tests, such as minimum, maximum, and average response times, also puts the information into a chart, which can be viewed in several formats, e.g., bar chart, line chart, and area chart. As ping packets are sent, the program updates a graph showing how ping response times are varying over time with response times in milliseconds on the y axis and the x axis showing time. The program also allows you to save an image of the chart it produces as a BMP file, which can be viewed by a variety of image viewing programs on a Microsoft Windows system.

PowerShell Server 6.0

I installed PowerShell Server software on a Windows 8.1 Professional system to enable the system to function as an SSH server. I've used Bitvise's SSH server software and Copssh with recent operating systems, but hadn't used the PowerShell Server software before. The software allows a system to function as an SSH and SFTP server. I had hoped to be able to allow domain accounts to log into the system as well as local accounts, but so far I've only been able to log into the system via SSH after installing the software with local accounts on the system.
