existing SSH connection set up by an instance of GUI PuTTY. The one
special case is that PSCP and PSFTP will \e{never} act as upstreams.
It is possible to test programmatically for the existence of a live
upstream using Plink. See \k{plink-option-shareexists}.

test for connection-sharing upstream
This option does not make a new connection; instead it allows testing
for the presence of an existing connection that can be shared.
(See \k{config-ssh-sharing} for more information about SSH connection
sharing.)
A Plink invocation of the form:
\c plink -shareexists <session>
\e iiiiiiiii
will test whether there is currently a viable \q{upstream} for the
session in question, which can be specified using any syntax you'd
normally use with Plink to make an actual connection (a host/port
number, a bare saved session name, \c{-load}, etc). It returns a
zero exit status if a usable \q{upstream} exists, nonzero otherwise.
