PuTTY

PuTTY is a free SSH and Telnet client for Windows, but is now also available for UNIX systems including Linux. It is small and includes a terminal emulator, which makes it ideal to use when you're stuck on a Windows machine, but need to access your Linux machine.

Besides PuTTY, there are also several companion tools available:


 * PSCP -- PuTTY Secure Copy, a SCP client.
 * PSFTP -- PuTTY sftp client
 * Plink -- PuTTY Link, command line interface, useful in scripts
 * PuTTYgen -- generate SSH public and private keys
 * Pageant -- SSH authentication agent for PuTTY, PSCP and Plink
 * pterm -- PuTTY's terminal emulator for UNIX

For GUI SCP and SFTP client see WinSCP
