    It's actually a real shame that there hasnt been any real inovation in the ssh client area for windows. There are a few other SSH clients but none that rival the UX of PuTTY unfortunately.

    Other than SecureCRT that has been around since 1995?

    @Letzien I'll assume that your needs (and hence UX) are different to mine.

    Prey tell, what does PuTTy have that SCRT doesn't? Except for PuttyTray, which is probably not updated yet.

    @Letzien

    Each to their own but I've never felt the tabs and session management to be particularly usable. I quite like windows, makes it easier to split screen at various times. Last I used it it was not possible to drag tabs out to new windows or anything like that (is it now?).

    Puttys session management lends itself well to workloads where you have a large number of different devices that you rarely connect to more than once (not saying it's perfect, there is innovation needed to improve here - currently we supplement with some additional tooling)

    My other gripes would be that it's closed source, expensive and from my past experience (>5 years ago) a very poor terminal emulator (pstree was broken at that time, it might be still)

    As mentioned earlier in this thread, Windows now comes with a native ssh client (a port of ssh from OpenSSH). Okay, not innovation in terms of a GUI, but still ...

    You can untick this option in the configuration under SSH > Auth, then it is the first option.

    I already done that before, but the same. Since update, putty add its own icon when prompt for username or password and don't print banner message correctly

    MobaXterm is affected too? :smile:

  • daviddavid Member

    Updated, thanks.

    I'm still using mtputty (multi-tabbed putty) with it, too, though it hasn't been updated in ages. I hope it's still OK.

    I recommend using cmder console in Windows which also support Linux commands and you can use ssh [email protected] directly in command line.

    I'm using XShell which I love but I'm starting to play around with Bitvise.
