On Linux the ssh command has a -t option whose man page reads:

Force pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute arbitrary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be very useful, e.g. when implementing menu services. Multiple -t options force tty allocate, even if ssh has no local tty.

I would like to use this same option with PuTTY on Windows. In particular, I can see that PuTTY has a bunch of options under:

Category -> Connection -> SSH -> TTY

and suspect it might be possible to achieve the same behavior via some of the (NUMEROUS!) settings found on this screen. Anyone know how to configure the following command:

ssh -t USER,[email protected] create

Thanks!
