Best SSH Program
 

Just wondering what is the best SSH client?

putty 78

im using putty..

putty

8char

Would not call it the best but it's free

putty for sure

securecrt if you feel like paying.

Putty is cool for a freebie..... go with Secure CRT for a nice solid program.
But putty does the job.. :-)

I much prefer SecureCRT over putty, for a myriad of reasons.

Basically I recommend if you use ssh once in a while, putty is more than adequate. If you use SSH daily with multiple sessions open at all times, then SecureCRT is a must-have.

This is windows of course :)

Their client rocks.

Only putty :) Simply the best.

secureCRT by miles.. connected to 7 boxes with tabs with putty that'd just be unbearable.

putty for sure..

One busy sysadmin/network administrator would never carry securecrt on his/her memory stick.

Besides, 9mb against 250kb for basically the same function ?

Go putty.

I wish putty had tabs without any plugins. Then it would be perfect.

another vote for putty

for windows:
Putty
SecureCRT
Wincgy-ssh

it works with scp and X servers

been using this for 10 years, its rock solid

securecrt is a good product

they're hardly the same function.. thats like saying lynx and firefox are the same function too.

putty :thumbsup

securecrt and putty

I have two 24" Dell flatscreens on my home desk, on which I can run 6 putty windows (3x3) in a very nice looking config.

Alternatively, you can just stack the windows and ALT-TAB through them (or click them on the taskbar) -- what's the difference between that, really, and tabbed windows?

openssh

8

telnet <hostname> <port>

I've used both. I go with securecrt now but both are solid.

securecrt

each to their own, i prefer having them all open in one window and just moving through tabs as need be.

Maybe so, but there isn't a lot of functional difference between tabs in the window, and tabs on the start menu.

For me, at least -- but then again, I'm used to the Gnome desktop, where there aren't as many applications with "fancy" features like tabs. When I'm booted into Windows, it's usually for casual board surfing or gaming -- it's hard to get much "real" work done outside of FreeBSD, Linux, or OS X.

they ARE for the same function. you're talking about cosmetics.
:2 cents:

That and a couple of extra features here and there .. but really, anything beyond putty is just bloatware in most cases.

go with putty for sure :D

Holy shit, someone added SSH support to your telnet client?

That's amazing.
