PuTTY
PuTTY is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console, and network file transfer application. It supports SSH, Telnet, SCP, SFTP, and serial protocols. PuTTY is one of the most widely used tools by system administrators and developers for remote access and secure shell communication.
It is especially useful when:
- You need to remotely access servers over SSH or Telnet
- You want to generate or manage SSH keys
- You need a reliable and portable terminal tool
- You prefer a lightweight and fast Windows SSH client
PuTTY is maintained by Simon Tatham and distributed under the MIT license.
