I need an SSH Client will Quanta do?

Normally for we I use Quanta on Man 9.2. However one site requires the use of a SSH Client (OpenSSH, Putty, etc).

I couldn't find openssh as a gui and I am told putty is a Windoze app'.

I can load the site with sftp, but need something like Quanta? What do others use?

AKAIK, Quanta is an HTML editor, similar to Screem and others, and ssh is a secure connection layer, similar to telnet but far more secure. What is it that you are trying to do? You can create the pages using Quanta and then upload them with ssh or sftp. Also, AFAIK, there is no GUI version of ssh for Linux. It is a command line program, like telnet. It's pretty easy to use, though.

I'am trying to edit files and then upload to a secure site. I can only load a file at a time -and then I can only load the index page. The site is such that I cannot upload via Quanta which makes it very slow in uploading pages. I am using sftp to upload. I cannot understand how to use ssh to upload though. Were can I get the commands for this?

try man ssh in a console. That will give you the manual for ssh along with a lot of different options.

Have you tried scp? Secure copy, man scp.
Basically the syntax is:
scp uploadfile user@host:/destination/dir/for/uploadfile

so to upload all .html files in a dir to your isps webserver:

scp *.html me@myisp.com:/home/me/www

Check out the man page, lots of options like recursive copy, attribute preservation etc
