I used a really old pre-built SSH client. Works just fine. It seems that when I tried to set up a new box and used a newer client, it failed miserably.
I seem to recall that I generated a keypair on another box and transferred them onto the Windows box (in a .ssh subdir). Note that you probably have to create that dir using the cmdline; I don't think Windows Explorer lets you create ".ssh". Anyways... Then I put the pubkey into authorized_keys on the server, and it worked great. I suspect that you might be able to use the putty tunneling stuff, too, but I've never tried that.
