Try using a program called "putty". You can do a search on the web and it'll direct you to their web. Download the putty program and install it on your Win box. When you run the program, it's in graphical user interface and you can select ssh by clicking on the check box. Of course, you'll need to specify the IP of your linux box. Hope that helps.
