I load my key into my agent when I log into the machine, and from there on I've got password-less access to my servers. This is very handy as it means I don't need to search through my password store to find what I the login details are for each host I want to connect to. It also means that I can turn off password authentication and avoid brute-force password attacks. I prefer bash (cygwin's default shell) over cmd.exe and command.com, as it offers me better tab-completion and other handy features. I use an scp client too, but I use the one that comes with cygwin.

Note that you have an option to launch Putty within WinSCP which is very handy. You just have to tell the path in the options. I'm also using NX Client for remote desktop connection (my server is on Ubuntu), wich is really nice and fast. So cool that I mostly use the shell terminal on remote instead of Putty.
