This is purely a function of the client not the server.  It is
possible within the protocol (PuTTY for example does it) but OpenSSH's
client doesn't support it.  You can trivially script it as noted
elsewhere in this thread, though.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
