Great ! I've been waiting this new release since long time , the best ssh client !

There are numerous reasons why this program deserves more than just 5 stars.

1. free
2. open source
3. small
4. easy to use
5. crazy effective

the list goes on. i could not imagine administering to my Cisco equipment without this tool in the box.

SecureCRT doesn't come close to Putty, Putty is much faster, try
time cat /var/log/somebiglog
and look at "user time"...
Putty is almost 2 times faster on 1Mb link, no metter of compression settings.
Home and End keys works correctly by default, unlike in SecureCRT.
The same with line wrapping.
Putty wins hands down, and its free.

Have to agree on the registry thing. Had to reinstall my PC just recently and lost all of my settings. Not cool, otherwise my SSH client of choice.

stisev reviewed v0.59 on Apr 8, 2007

Putty is awesome, but it loses 1 star for not being able to save in a local .ini file vs registry

Download "portaPuTTY" instead!

Another problem with this listing, it says freeware instead of open source.

Ian C. reviewed v0.59 on Jan 25, 2007

Commercial SSH clients just can't compete with this.

clifton reviewed v0.59 on Jan 25, 2007

Web site says final and also lists OS support as Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and Vista on Intel x86

eddie reviewed v0.58 Beta on Apr 6, 2005

Authors site shows its a beta.

AlanS2001 reviewed v0.58 Beta on Apr 6, 2005

According to the about box and the homepage this version is 0.58 Final (not Beta).

Johnoost reviewed v0.58 Beta on Apr 6, 2005

Still no serial support for managing routers and switches through console cables.

norky reviewed v0.57 Beta on Mar 15, 2005

if only it had support for serial connections.

spiffyjeff reviewed v0.57 Beta on Feb 21, 2005

super app!
it says for win98, but either it will work on other versions of windows, or there are other versions of putty that will work on other windows - just go to their website if needed.

Obren reviewed v0.57 Beta on Feb 21, 2005

A little remark: version 0.57 is not beta but final release, according to official PuTTY website. Same thing in the About dialog.

One of the best SSH/Telnet clients there is!

Kartun_355 reviewed v0.55 on Aug 6, 2004

May be it could be much usable if author fix problem with disconnection from server & termination of sessions. This things are most important parts of NET-APP so ...

mh508 reviewed v0.54 Beta on Feb 21, 2004

Awesome... Just awesome! This is one of my favorite SSH Clients. The fact that its free is just amazing! It really deserves 5 stars!

debonair reviewed v0.54 Beta on Feb 21, 2004

What could he possibly do to make it even better? It's already the best of software apps!

Tridus reviewed v0.54 Beta on Feb 21, 2004

A lot of other software developers could learn from this program. It does exactly what it claims to in a small effecient package. Would be worth paying for easily, but its free (which makes it even better).

allsiante reviewed v0.54 Beta on Feb 21, 2004

go go go ! :)

ssb reviewed v0.54 Beta on Feb 21, 2004

Small, fast and stable. Do you need more ?

Ksilebo reviewed v0.54 Beta on Feb 21, 2004

Nothing else comes close. FREE!

capnqwest reviewed v0.54 Beta on Feb 20, 2004

The standard. 'nuff said.

HaMMerHeD reviewed v0.54 Beta on Feb 20, 2004

This is the best Win32 enabled SSH client, outside of OpenSSH itself, of course that I have used. Even though OpenSSH is dramatically faster (especially vs. pscp), Putty has a MUCH better key maintenance system.
I love it. I used it every day. I don't know what I would do without it.

magus12 reviewed v0.53b Beta on Jun 15, 2003

Excellent program! Up to this point, I've been using SecureCRT. But now, PuTTY is my new SSH client! Why? Cause it's cleaner, simple, straight-forward, and of course, free ;)

c_g_hills reviewed v0.53b Beta on Nov 14, 2002

What can I say.. Look at all the other reviews. It's great!

reidyn reviewed v0.53b Beta on Nov 14, 2002

Highly recommended... I've used this for several versions now, and my remote server administration is almost as pleasant as actually sitting at the console. This just keeps getting better.

theye reviewed v0.53b Beta on Nov 14, 2002

I agree with all the other comments here. Putty is by far the best and not because it's free, that's just a bonus.

techt reviewed v0.53b Beta on Nov 14, 2002

The BEST SSH Client 4 Windows, no more to say...

damndj reviewed v0.53b Beta on Nov 14, 2002

Putty is the best! And it's freeeee!

ogre2112 reviewed v0.53b Beta on Nov 13, 2002

I literally could not function through life without this program. Ok, exaggerated, but still close to fact. =)

ditoa reviewed v.52 on Jul 27, 2002

Excellent program, i have been using Tera Term Pro for the past year or so and found it to be working fine, i mainly used TTP because of the Xmodem support and Macro's for autologin etc however i hardly ever needed to use Xmodem as i had FTP access to the server and i felt a little insecure having auto login, i have known about putty for some time and used it in the past but i have only just setup putty for use with SSH and RSA security, i am very happy with the program, the authors know what they are doing and if i ever need to use xmodem or similar they have applications such as PSFTP and PSCP for secure file transfer. I wouldnt bother with SecureCRT etc, try putty first it probably has what you want and it is free!

Very good emulator, not only under Linux but under Aix,Sun too.

jpasula reviewed v.52 on Jan 18, 2002

Excellent program!!! Not the only free SSH program (Tera Term with SSH add-on) but it's nice and small, and it works.
