PuTTY Networking and Admin

PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet and Rlogin network protocols.

These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY equipment the client end of that sitting: the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs.

In really simple terms: you run PuTTY on a Windows mechanism, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix engine. PuTTY opens a window. Then, something you type into that window is sent directly to the Unix machine, and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its calm, while actually sitting somewhere else.

This download includes the following tools:

    Plink (a command-line interface to the PuTTY back ends)
    PSCP (an SCP client, i.e. command-line secure file copy)
    Pageant (an SSH authentication agent for PuTTY, PSCP and Plink)
    PSFTP (an SFTP client, i.e. general file transfer sessions much like FTP)
    PuTTYtel (a Telnet-only client)
    PuTTYgen (an RSA and DSA key generation utility).
    PuTTY (the Telnet and SSH client itself)
