How to use ssh-agent on Windows with TortoiseSVN
TortoiseSVN uses Plink, the command line member of the PuTTY suite, to perform SSH connections. This means that TortoiseSVN has the entire featureset of PuTTY (and thus SSH) available at it’s disposal. Some of these features require a good deal of setup work, but can pay off in the long run.
The feature of primary interest is that of ssh-agent functionality under Windows, where we set up a public/private key pair, authenticate with the server once, then use the ssh-agent to manage our password and session from then on. This gives all of the benefits of security associated with SSH, while not requiring the user’s password for every operation.
