By default, putty just takes too many clicks to open a single ssh connection.

If you’re used to simply typing ssh <hostname> on your UNIX based shell,
here’s how you can get the same effect on Windows.

Use the following command to map the ssh command to putty.

C:\windows\system32\doskey ssh=c:\putty\putty.exe -ssh $*
