Actually, I'm rather fond of TTSSH. It is TeraTerm (a very good
terminal emulator that does serial and telnet, too) with a SSH-1.5
client tacked on to it. Mind you, it cannot do SSH-2.0. But I find it
to be very useful.
TTSSH's home is here. There is a link to go get TeraTerm from it.

You might also find this useful: WinSCP is a scp client for windows.
(Suprise!) It is a little fiddly, but it works well enough. Oddly, it
has the PuTTY libs built in...

FINALLY, you might check out the Java SSH applet. I've considered
dropping one on my web server, so I can talk to it securely from
anywhere without downloading stuff. I haven't tried it, yet, though.
