TeraTerm with the TTSH extension is pretty cool (it used to be my
personal favorite windows SSH client). Unfortunately, it only handles
the SSH1 protocol with no plans to implement SSH2.

There are some security concerns with the SSH1 protocol. Because of
this, it is more common these days to find servers only running SSH2 (or
OpenSSH restricted to SSH2 protocol).

With this in mind, PuTTY remains the best Free Windows SSH app
available. It is also interesting to see other apps using PuTTY support
applications (like scp). One example is Secure iXplorer[1] (note that
there is also a GPL version of iXplorer [2]).
