Second this, this is also my method. Cygwin does a good job with the ssh config file on Windows, if anyone is looking for tool suggestions. This wasn't in OPs question, but have to add that if possible, put your SSH keys in the servers known_hosts file and you can have secure passwordless login, which combined with the ssh config file on your machine is fantastic. I just do "ssh $SERVER" in cygwin, where $SERVER is my defined alias pointing to an IP, and that's it. Takes literally five seconds.
