Although putty is a great ssh client for windows it doesn't seem to fit as well into this project as some of the other tools. I use putty all the time from the GUI but sometimes CLI usage are just more convenient.

Couple things that just aren't quite right is lets say I do

putty user@example.com, this will spawn the putty session in a new window. Is it possible to have it function more like ssh on *nix where the session will start in the same terminal window?

Also, I'm not sure if this is possible but with ssh on *nix if you don't specify a username when connecting to a client then your current account's user name is used. Can this be done as a default for Gow putty/ssh?

a very quick improvement (IMHO) would be to add ssh.bat:

@echo off
plink %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

That's a great suggestion. I'll do that.

Fixed as of release 0.8.0: https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow/releases

Isn't this going to cause conflicts? ssh typically means OpenSSH which uses different keys from PuTTY. There are windows installers for OpenSSH. So if someone has the correct OpenSSH commands installed then the ssh.bat file will conflict.

Wouldn't it be better to inlude the Windows OpenSSH files into Gow?

I too, advocate for OpenSSH. It fits much better in this project, and plays nicely with other tools such as Vagrant (which doesn't work properly with PuTTY).

I don't know whether you are aware, but MS decided to maintain/adopt OpenSSH for windows by themselves, maybe their Win32-OpenSSH should be used instead?

The quality of their util sucks yet, but seems like they are working hard on improving it.
