    Why not just use SSH? 
 Or if you want a GUI, and using Gnome windows environment, Nautilus should work fine. Remote systems can be persistently mounted. 
 Not saying PuTTy is a bad tool (I use it when stuck with Windows), but Linux has other tools that don't require additional software. Although I appreciate your comment above was with regards to accessing a Linux box from a Windows machine.
