How to ssh into openshift app using the 'rhc' command on windows?

I am trying to ssh (from windows) into my Openshift app using the 'rhc' command

rhc app-ssh <app name>

I have followed the Openshift instruction here:

Putty is returning the error "Putty Command Line Error: unknown option "-V" and then fails. My google searches indicate putty has a "-v" (lowercase) option for turning on Verbose. I'm not sure if it's one in the same.

If I use the Putty GUI everything works fine. I would like to figure out how to ssh into my openshift app using the command line.

First you need to generate private and public key. You can use puttygen to do that.
Then you should import public key into your OpenShift account.
And then use private key with putty.
