PuTTY is an open source and a free implementation of Telnet, SSH, rlogin, and raw TCP computing protocols for Windows and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. It is written and maintained primarily by Simon Tatham.

PuTTY was originally written for Microsoft Windows, but it has been ported to various other operating systems. Official ports are available for some Unix-like platforms, with work-in-progress ports to Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X, and unofficial ports have been contributed to platforms such as Symbian OS and Windows Mobile OS.

Some of PuTTY features:

  • The storing of hosts and preferences for later use.
  • Control over the SSH encryption key and protocol version.
  • Command-line SCP and SFTP clients, called “pscp” and “psftp” respectively.
  • Control over port forwarding with SSH (local, remote or dynamic port forwarding), including built-in handling of X11 forwarding.
  • Emulates most xterm, VT102 control sequences, as well as much of ECMA-48 terminal emulation.
  • IPv6 support.
  • Supports 3DES, AES, Arcfour, Blowfish, DES.
  • Public-key authentication support.
  • Support for local serial port connections.
  • Self-contained executable requires no installation.
