SSH Clients

[HH-Steven]

Hi,

Can anyone reommend a decent SSH Client?

I've tried putty but don't rate it very highly.

I'm currently using a 30 day trial of Secure CRT and it looks good but curious as to if theres any alternatives?

Free would be good but will consider paid ones.

So, which do you use? or suggest?

PuTTY can do the job quite well. What did you not like about it?

I also use PuTTY. Just about everything about it is configurable and can be saved on a per-host basis.

I do like putty and it gets the job done.

It's been a while since i've used it but i'm sometimes connected to multiple servers and Secure CRT lets me have these in tabs, putty does not, unless that's changed?

I'm just curious as to if theres any alternatives to those 2?

Might look at Xshell. Not free. Has an integrated sftp/ftp client available for an additional charge.

You could try Tunnelier. It's free for individual use (including within organizations), and it has a terminal shell, port forwarding, Remote Desktop forwarding, a graphical SFTP interface, and scriptable command line versions of its clients.

People who like PuTTY sometimes don't like the way Tunnelier implements terminal sessions - it uses native Windows console windows that behave like Windows console windows. This can be different than you're used to if your experience is with PuTTY.
