A.4 PuTTY

PuTTY is a free implementation of the Telnet and SSH protocols for Windows. Its current version supports Telnet, SSHv1, SSHv2, Secure copy, Secure FTP, and rlogin. A client-only version of each protocol is available for the Windows platform.

PuTTY boasts an impressive set of features. Its SSH client is robust and feature-rich, and the Telnet support is far superior to the standard Telnet client that ships with Windows.

The official PuTTY web site is http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/. This site contains documentation and other useful information about the package. You can download the software via FTP from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.
