Here is a nice approach to accelerate your SSH access using putty.

Double click on your PPK file
This starts a program called pagent (putty agent).

In your putty session be sure to

  • set your user id: Connection>Data> Auto Login User Name
  • set your private key: Connection>ssh>auth

Create a windows shortcut that points to the session by name.
To do this use something like this

  • "C:\Program Files\Putty\putty.exe" -load eas_qa_web

When you double click on the shortcut, windows will start session with no typing whatsoever.
Put the shortcuts in you start menu, and you can move pretty quickly!
