Ask HN: Alternative for putty?

3 pointsby mablaealmost 10 years ago
Hi folks,<p>Some times you can not run your workstation on linux for different reasons.<p>I am more and more unhappy with &quot;putty&quot; I currently use.<p>Why isn&#x27;t there a actively maintained SSH Terminal Client for Windows?<p>Please list SSH Terminal Client for Windows you like!

If you find cygwin annoying and&#x2F;or slow, try mingw.<p>If you grab the official git windows client you get a mini-install with openssh which works fine :)<p>I use putty myself, and if I&#x27;m only allowed to use a web browser, I&#x27;ll just log into chrome and use the ssh client chrome extension (which seems to be still in beta a year later)

Cygwin.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openssh.com&#x2F;windows.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openssh.com&#x2F;windows.html</a>

Cygwin is essential if you spend any significant amount of time using a Windoze box...

I vote with the others: cygwin, and install openssh in that.<p>You have the added benefit of having a bash command line (or zsh or whatever) to use as you like.<p>But for your question, cygwin plus openssh is an excellent solution. Try it.
