If you haven’t been able to find 64 bit Vista drivers for the Xbox 360 Controller you can download them here I randomly came across them on the Microsoft Gaming Software site – they aren’t available on the normal Microsoft Downloads site.
Note: connecting a wireless controller to a PC via a Play and Charge cable will not allow you to use it as a controller – it will only charge it. In order to use a 360 Wireless controller in Windows you need a Wireless Gaming Receiver

So I just managed to get a 64-bit version of Filezilla to compile for Vista x64 – FTP and SFTP seem to be working fine although I haven’t had a chance to check proxy or FTP+TLS yet. I’m off to Mammoth Mountain for a weekend of boarding and then I’ll make a beta release right here for the rest of you to test. The only thing I really had to change was disabling the IDNA support (Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications) since it uses libidn which I haven’t been able to get to compile under Visual Studio.
Things would be much easier if there was a 64-bit version of gcc for windows.

I just uploaded a 64bit x64 build of PuTTY 0.59 made with Visual Studio 2005 and it can be found at http://www.kelley.ca/amd64
