SSH and SFTP
If you heavily use SSH consider putting together an web page that will launch an ssh application.
- Kitty* - Takes the actual Putty code base and improves the interface with the following key features. Here are the details of my personal configuration file,
- Portable option - instead of Windows Registry saves to local file in the directory
- Transparent Windows (CTRL-Up Arror and CTRL-Down Arrow)
- CTRL-F7 Pin Window to always be on top (useful with Transparency and especially with second or third monitor) - though I tend to use Winkey+F9 using Hoekey
- Improved sizeable, searchable, folder based session manager, but still not as good as Putty Connection Manager
- Putty - I find this to be the most reliable compatible and universal. However, the interface is dated and Kitty is much better. I now package this as part of Putty Connection Manager. Generally I adjust the defaults to:
- Window - Columns = 100, Lines of scrollback to 2000
- Window, Translation - Received data assumed to be in which character set: UTF-8
- Putty Connection Manager* - An updated tabbed and tree based listing interface to Putty (no install, though it does use the registry consider talking to this developers about not doing this)
- For convenience I create a manual package. Just download the manual package and unzip to a directory of your choice and then execute puttycm.exe.
- SecureCRT - Cross platform and has all the features you would want. Approximately $100 for a license.
- Moving Sessions btw Mac and Windows
- Launching from Browser (it's just a checkbox)
- BitVise Tunnelier
- No Putty Integration (console included is not as universally compatible)
- GUI for tunneling
- Hides in System tray
- Does not support drag and drop from desktop
