You can compile PuTTY source on Mac if you have MacPorts installed - I don't and didn't want to. It includes an easy utility to convert in and out of PPK format, but it only runs on Windows by default. However, its PPK files are incompatible with the standard SSH key format used on Mac OS X (and every other Unix-y OS I've ever used). Is an amazingly good project that does pretty much everything you'll ever need to use SSH on Windows.

Now when you double-click the shortcut it will bring you straight into your Linux server without having to enter username or password.
