  The "putty" ssh client for Windows is really easy to install. First, you
  download the binary from the web site. Then, you run it. (Insert
  fingerprint-checking in between the two steps, if you like).
  
  You can also download "pscp" and "psftp" programs, each one standalone again.
  
  Putty is what I always use when I'm stuck in front of a Windows box.
  
  I have no idea where it stores config info, though.

    It puts it all in the Window Registry.
    

    I haven't found the right magic to encapsulate and move these settings from machine to machine, yet. Although I haven't tried too hard.
    

    Does anyone know how to extract Registry information in a portable form that can easily be loaded onto another machine?

      Putty also has pretty much everything configurable from the command line.

      putty -ssh -2 hostname.domain.ext

      so you could just make batch files in the putty folder for your mostly used ssh sessions and just have everything on the command line. The batch file could even run the putty -clean at the end if you want to clean your tracks.

        oops, here are the actual command line options [earth.li] and it's putty -cleanup and you can't specify window size or colors from the command line, but there might be enough.
