KiTTY is obviously based on PuTTY’s source, so it retains all the reliable and usability – but it also adds a slew of new and highly requested features that seem to be destined to never reach a build of PuTTY. Vast amounts of Google research has yielded me a very sufficient and actively developed fork of PuTTY called “ KiTTY“. Well, I’m initiating a changing of the fucking guard. I mean really… 4 years? There are two Microsoft OS releases in that time that a developer should be considering features and usability within. Yet, it is still unexplainably the mainstay and flagship SSH client… And I really just don’t understand why that is. It has a gigantic list of feature requests and bug fixes. The last version published was in April of 2007 (that is LITERALLY 4 years ago). However, PuTTY has grown to become a very strange and atypical application. It is a clean, easy to use, lightweight utility that reliably allows various SSH/SSL functionality from a Windows client. PuTTY has been the standard SSH utility for all of my Windows based workstations since approximately 2002.
