PuTTY is problematic though. There is a way to get it to work exactly like
this. A Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 port of OpenSSH with an installer is at
http://lexa.mckenna.edu/

The port installs a small subset of Cygwin and uses it to provide full
OpenSSH functionality, so you can get SSH as it is on UNIX from the Windows
command prompt.
