But in general, the defaults work well. After unzipping the executables, all you need to do to configure PuTTY is to fill the few items in the session configuration dialog that pops when you click on PuTTY's icon, and then save the session definitions-- they will be used automatically for that host thereafter. The only things that I change, apart of the host address and the session name, is the location of the private key file, and sometimes the auto-login username. (I also play with colors, but that's just because I'm a color customization junkie.) That's it! Plink is a command-line utility that is an ssh work-alike, it accepts a somewhat different, but similar, set of command-line options. I don't think you will have any problems with PuTTY wrt Cygwin (for example, PuTTY opens its own window, unrelated to the shell's window), but only experience will show, since I myself don't use Cygwin at all. Thanks, Eli. I'll give it a try when I get some time.
