PuTTY - ssh or telnet to a Unix host
PuTTY is a client for SSH, Telnet and Rlogin connections. SSH (Secure SHell)
is a high-security protocol that uses strong cryptography to protect your connection
against eavesdropping, hijacking and other attacks; PuTTY is a free
implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 platforms, along with an xterm
terminal emulator.
Telnet and Rlogin are both older protocols offering minimal security. Putty
supports SSH1, SSH2 and OpenSSH as well as port and X11 forwarding. You can
also use PuTTY to make a raw TCP connection. Session configurations can be
saved for later use. Since various existing SSH servers have bugs, PuTTY
looks at the version number at the beginning of the SSH connection
and will attempt to detect which bugs it can expect to see in the server
and automatically enable workarounds. Click here for information on Secure Connections
PuTTY comes with various other tools: PSCP (PuTTY Secure Copy client),
a tool for transferring files securely between computers using an SSH
connection; PSFTP (PuTTY Secure FTP client), another secure file transfer
tool, but using the SSH2's SFTP protocol; Plink (PuTTY Link), a command
-line connection tool similar to UNIX ssh, mostly used for automated
operations, such as CVS. PuTTYgen (PuTTY key generator), generates pairs
of public and private keys, supports RSA and DSA keys; Pageant, an SSH
authentication agent: it holds your private keys in memory, already
decoded, so that you can use them often without needing to type a passphrase.
Secure Shell (SSH) is a replacement for the programs telnet, rsh and rlogin.
It encrypts the connections between computers so that usernames and passwords
are not sent across the network in plain text.
If you use PuTTY, you should upgrade to 0.56 as they patched a security bug.
