I don't mean to sound like a dick, but if you want to obfuscate learning how to use the command line SSH client, what chance do you have at learning how to negotiate working in a Unix environment once you've established your SSH connection to your Unix machine?

It's not that hard:

ssh username@hostname

or:

ssh -l username hostname

Because PuTTY is just a GUI front-end to making these connections (and bookmarking them, etc.), all of the same SSH protocol level requirements and limitations apply. That is, if you want to do public key authentication, PuTTY is probably not going to make that any easier.

Windows users are always looking for cute little applications to make things easier, and in doing so they become extremely vendor dependent. In my opinion, being responsible for computers is no fun when you have these sorts of crutches and dependencies. Take control.

On a related note, you may find that another UNIX tool is useful: sftp. You use it the same way as ssh:

sftp username@hostname

or:

sftp -l username hostname

and then use the commands "put" and "get" to move files between your Mac and the host machine. Very handy if you would like to write your code while not connected to the remove machine and then zap it over later.
