FWIW, I normally don't supply options on the CLI; instead, they go in
.ssh/config, e.g.

    Host *.example.net
      Port 26
      User example

I don't know if plink has a similar option; certainly putty's closest
equivalent (a config file per host) seemed to be more hassle than it was
worth last time I looked.

At $ork we point customers that still use Windows at the cwRsync
package, which is just enough of Cygwin to run OpenSSH and rsync.  Last
time I used it, I just added C:\Progra~1\cwRsync to my %PATH% and then
ssh(1) worked as I expected from ⌘+r cmd RET.
