In a Windows environment, SSH tunneling can also be accomplished by installing OpenSSH via Cygwin.

I think this software is quite useful and supports keys and all the rest ( Set up SSH keys such that building the tunnel doesn't prompt for a password, * Run the local end of the tunnel on a free port, * Configure your local client to talk to the local end of the tunnel). This is an essential piece of our infrastructure and we have SecureCRT set up on servers as well as individual PCs to ensure secure transmission of information to sources outside our firewall.
