I am using FreeSSHd in a Windows Server 2003 x64 and putty to connect to that ssh server from a Windows 7 x64 machine.

In the "Remote Command" of the putty interface I put cm /k "cd c:\".

Everything goes fine, it connects into the server and executes the cmd, jumping into the desired directory. Th problem is that I can't type anything! The keyboard just doesn't work once putty connects and executes the command!

Why is that?

The shell is likely waiting for the cmd.exe to complete. The /k option makes the command shell to stay open after the command passed on the command line completes. The FreeSSHd process spawns the cmd.exe process and is likely waiting for it to complete before continuing.
