I do a lot of remote administration on Linux boxes through a PuTTY SSH
connection on my Windows PC.

Is it also possible to manage Windows XP Pro machines through an SSH
connection?

Try posting this in a Linux newsgroup such as alt.os.linux. The only thing I
can think of is to use Remote Desktop.

This may work (though I have not tried it myself)

If you really don't need SSL to encrypt your communications within
your own secured intranet, you could use Windows Services for UNIX
(SFU) which includes 'rsh' support.

(I've never bothered to use SFU).

Of course, variations of VNC (TightVNC, RealVNC) are also
possibilities, as is Microsoft's Remote Desktop protocol.

It seems there are versions of Putty for Windows, too.

I was looking at this, but not sure why it would need Cygwin components.

Basically, I'm trying to find a secure way to get to a command prompt on a
remote Windows PC.

I'll be connecting through the internet, so security is important.

I'm trying to avoid getting to the Windows Desktop. I want a low bandwidth
option when I don't need to do anything major to the remote Windows PC.

That's client side. Always have it installed on my Windows PCs.
