MobaXterm is excellent free remote administration tools. Of multiple tools for performing multiple operations such as SSH, File copy, and transfer. Select the SSH in the Session settings to connect to the server using SSH.

While looking for an alternative to SuperPuTTY (putty with a tabbed interface) I came across MobaXterm. This program is simply fantastic. It supports tabbed connections over so many different protocols including SSH, RDP, VNC, FTP and can even open regular websites, directories and files. Since I run mostly Linux VM's with a few Windows VM's and several remote VPS's this was absolutely perfect. It gives me one program to connect to everything and it has a nice session manager on the left hand side to keep everything organized.
I highly suggest those of you who run Windows & Linux VM's to check it out. It has replaced Putty, Remote Desktop and FileZilla for me.

MobaXterm is a free program with limits that requires a license to unlock everything. However, there is a very similar program, albeit less featured, called mRemoteNG that does essentially same thing and is open source and free. You can check out mRemoteNG here: http://www.mremoteng.org/
Note: I have absolutely no affiliation with either program. I simply found them in my quest to find a better terminal for connecting to my servers and thought you guys could benefit from them. I made this a self post as not to reap any karma and to merely share my find.
