How to make ssh in an openshift application using the "rhc" command in windows?

Question

I am trying to use ssh (from windows) in my Openshift application using the 'rhc' command

rhc app-ssh <app name> 

I followed the Openshift instruction here:

https://www.openshift.com/forums/openshift/how-to-rhc-app-ssh-command

Putty returns the error "Putty command line error: unknown option -V", and then fails. My searches show that putty has the option "-v" (lowercase) to enable Verbose. I'm not sure this is the same thing.

If I use the Putty GUI, everything works fine. I would like to find out how ssh in my openshift application using the command line.

• First you need to generate a private and public key. You can use puttygen for this.
• Then you must import the public key into your OpenShift account.
• And then use the private key with putty.
