Windows SSH client

I've been using puttytray with these color schemes. Any other good options out there?

Thanks

  • There is a comparison of SSH clients on Wikipedia

    Artur Carvalho : Thanks! I have some keyboard problems, lets see if those that support Full keyboard mapping help.

  • I use SSH Secure Shell which is now called "SSH Tectia Client".

    Note: It has a "sister" sftp product as well which I found useful.

    Artur Carvalho : Do you use it for any particular reason?
    nzpcmad : I had a look around and it was the best free (non-commercial product) that I could find. It has a "sister" sftp product as well which was useful.

  • PuTTY is the best open-source terminal emulator out there. Unless you're having issues with it, there's probably no reason to change. That said, I have met several network engineers who much prefer SecureCRT. It's main feature is session/connection management; when you're making a change that needs you logged in to 15 devices at the same time, having a good tab management system is a big advantage.

    andyh_ky : PuTTY is the king. Putty Connection Manager (http://puttycm.free.fr/) and mRemote (http://www.mremote.org/wiki/) are good apps that have the tabbing, etc. that PuTTY lacks.
    Murali Suriar : Ooh - I hadn't heard of either of those before. A colleague of mine likes PuTTY Tab (http://www.raisin.de/putty-tabs/putty-tabs.html). The question never really comes up for me; I just open a session to a bastion Linux host running Screen (http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/); session management, tabs, logging, and entirely keyboard driven.
    Kz. : What I realy hate about putty is how copy-paste is done...
    Murali Suriar : @softly.lt: That can be changed. Look at 'Window -> Selection' in PuTTY configuration. I have my default for all sessions set to 'Windows (Middle extends, Right brings up menu)'.
  • I use SSH Secure Shell Client 3.2.9 because it has support for both ssh client and ftps client.

    But.. I tend to come back to PuTTY.

    ptman : Do you really mean [FTPS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS) and not [SFTP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol)?

  • It costs $$$ but I use SecureCRT + SecureFX. Support has been excellent over the years and "it just works".

  • I've found a new program just today through superuser.com and that is ZOC SSH/Telnet Client.

    ZOC is like SecureCRT (also for $$) but available for Mac and Windows in very similar versions so I can use it on my Macbook and Windows Desktop with the same configuration and don't have to do thins differently.

  • I've used Secure Shell Client for some time. It just works for me. I use it to remote access my server when necessary, and it includes a SFTP client as well.

  • Stick with PuTTY. it may not have a lot of frills, but at least it works!

  • Tunnelier tends to leave lots of bash.exe files running behind, if you don't log out properly

  • In my opinion, one of the best SSH Windows clients is XShell 3.x. A few years I used Putty, and it's nice, but XShell is the best one!
