Putty first needs to know who you're trying to connect to the remote host as.
I've read in Putty's docs that if you configure a session and save it, you
can then specify user@session_name to automaticly provide the id. If
need be you can also create a shortcut for it:
putty user@session_name
I think you can also use plink to acheive cmdline parmeters similar to ssh
under linux:
plink -ssh -l user hostname_or_ip_address
I am currently using putty and pagent on win2k with the same public/private
keypair that I use under Linux with openssh and it works fine - if I don't
specify the username, it prompts me - if I do, it asks me for the passphrase.
I'm using pagent so I only have to provide the passphrase once and then
ssh [er putty] and scp [er pscp] to my heart's content.
Using plink, I even have CVS working over ssh [putty] under win2k:
@REM /home/user/bin/pssh.bat
@plink -ssh %*
# in my environment [cygwin32 bash]:
export CVS_RSH=c:\\home\\user\\bin\\pssh.bat
export CVSROOT=:ext:user@host:/path/to/cvsroot
Hope this helps.
