Brit,

I have done a lot of ssh work from Windows, and administering linux
systems.  I have had excellent luck using Tunnelier as my ssh client.
I think it is much nicer than Putty/Plink.  It's a free download at
http://www.bitvise.com/download-area.

I think it might just solve your problem; if it doesn't, feel free to
drop me a line. I might be able to suggest some other approaches.
