We also looked at reliability, ease of use, ease of installation and depth of support and documentation, how up-to-date the tool is maintained and popularity of use within the industry. We then chose at least one tool for each of the major operating systems.
The company excels at producing infrastructure monitoring tools. The company got to the top of the market by providing very high-quality tools. You would expect to pay top dollar for this level of software. However, sometimes, the user community gets lucky and SolarWinds decides to release a very useful tool for free. This secure terminal program runs on a Windows environment and integrates the security of SSH.
As with the original PuTTY , you can use this tool to log in remotely to a computer. You can also use it to transfer files. You can download the program file from the SolarWinds website. This is not an installer, but the tool itself.
You just need to click on the file to open up the application. You can open several terminal sessions simultaneously with the tool. Each session opens a new tab in the interface. The interface will store your credentials for the servers that you log into regularly and sign you in automatically.
The interface gives you the option to color-code each session so you can distinguish between them. It is also able to re-establish a link and log you in again if a connection gets dropped.
Scripts can be automated. Official Site: solarwinds. That means that the source code of PuTTY was copied and altered some time ago to develop this separate utility. Since that copy was taken, the original program has been revised and updated. KiTTY is only available for Windows and it is free to use. The interface is able to represent multiple simultaneous sessions. These are pscp. The tool also includes a chat system and a text editor. The system includes a powerful scripting language that can help you automate processes such as information gathering on remote systems.
The interface allows multiple sessions to be open simultaneously. Security for connections is provided by SSH. Unprotected connection methods, such as rlogin are also available for private networks. Unfortunately, ZOC is not free.
SmarTTY v3. A lot of PuTTY alternatives employ tabs to allow you to access several sessions in the same panel of the interface. However, SmarTTY has an unusual design. An index panel to the left of the main terminal panel shows the directory structure of the computer in the currently displayed session. This directory explorer is responsive, so you can move through the file storage by clicking on the directory icons.
A couple of other useful features of this tool are an embedded file editor and a hexadecimal terminal type to monitor traffic on ports. The developers of st aimed to produce their own terminal emulator code instead of relying on traditional terminal protocols, such as xterm. Their motivation for this work is that they believe the regular terminal emulation systems are over-engineered and inefficient.
This is an open-source project and the PuTTY substitute is free to use. It was written to run on Linux. Once you have entered the login password, hit Enter , and you will be connected via SSH. You can now run shell commands on your server. Notable among the various features that iTerm2 offers are: Support for split-windows: Multiple independent terminals in the same tab. Support for Annotation: Add notes and comments to shell commands that have been run.
Instant Playback: This feature plays back a history of everything you have done on iTerm2, in case you forgot to copy a number or some detail from older commands. Better search: Searching on iTerm2 highlights all the matches for the word, like Safari and Chrome do.
There are a lot of other features that are offered by iTerm2. You can read about them on their official website. The process to SSH into a web server using iTerm2 is exactly the same as the process in Terminal, except, iTerm2 will make your life easier inside the Terminal. Download here. Shuttle is not so much an app as it is a shortcut menu for your SSH servers. Shuttle comes with a shuttle. This is great stuff! Not just SSH, you can basically add commands to run custom scripts simply from the menu bar, and have them open in a new Terminal window, or a new tab in the same Terminal window.
Download here 4. It is a broad set of tools which facilitates a panorama of server management applications and uses common protocols such as SSH, Mosh, and Telnet. Further, instead of being saved on your local machine, this data is associated with your Termius account which can be accessed on any other machine — even on an Android or iOS smartphone.
Overall, Termius is a great SSH tool for new users as well for anyone administrator who works remotely and uses many different machines to manage the server. Terminus offers both free and paid versions. The free version comes with all basic features including SSH, Telnet and Mosh, and support for port forwarding. Download here 5. Data, including passwords, transmitted using OpenSSH are encrypted with multiple protocols to ensure full security of the contents on your server.
Besides ensuring secure tunneling of data, OpenSSH pays strong attention to passive ways of securing connections including support for multi-factor authentication and one-time passwords to prevent IP or DNS spoofing and avert fake routes. Lastly, OpenSSH also gives users the option to compress data before transmitting to ensure faster file transfers. Setting up OpenSSH can be a bit overwhelming for new users and is only advised for those who have sufficient knowledge about SSH and other server management tools.

Royal TSX Royal TSX is an extensive tool for managing multiple applications, virtual desktops, and server connections remotely , and all of this can be done simultaneouly. To manage each of these applications, IT admins must download small plug-ins but support for SSH is built it.
Managing SSH keys properly is important. PuTTY grew out of a telnet client. It still supports the telnet protocol. However, very few devices use telnet these days.
Its use is not recommended for security reasons. Telnet sends all user names and passwords in the clear. It is very easy to listen to network traffic and steal user names and passwords from telnet traffic. By mids, such password sniffing attacks had become the largest security problem on the Internet.
That was the very problem SSH was designed to solve. Compromised routers, switches, or ARP proofing attacks can also be used to inject arbitrary commands into telnet sessions. There is a separate version of the software, called PuTTYtel , for countries that do not allow any use of encryption. However, SSH is now used in all countries, officially or unofficially.
Most systems can no longer be managed without encryption. Even the most oppressive countries need to secure their systems somehow. There cannot be cybersecurity in a networked environment without encryption. PuTTY also supports connecting to serial ports and raw sockets. These can sometimes be useful for debugging purposes and for working with some legacy devices. For example, in kernel development access via a serial port is still sometimes the best way to debug a panic that causes an immediate reboot, as it provides a way to see the boot messages.
Version 0. Upgrading to the latest version is recommended. Buffer overflow in SCP. This a potential stack overflow and remote code execution vulnerability.
A corrupt server could execute code on the client when any file is downloaded. It could also be exploited by man-in-the-middle attacks.
