One difficulty on W32: Cygwin's openSSH does not support the ControlMaster
feature and PuTTY has no equivalent feature. I've got OS password-only
access to my commonly used hosts (no public key because its a shared
account). Without the connection sharing I stick to SSH-based file transfer
and skip the faster SCP to avoid having to retype the password 30-40 tmes a
day.
