I have been using plink (companion to putty) without any problem eg


plink app1 ls -l

where app1 is defined by putty (as a connection) and ls -l etc etc are command 
args. I have modified the py package's SshGateway to use plink under windows and 
to allow very reasonable remote python behaviour.
