Anyone else use the Bitvise SSH Client[0]? I have used it in place of PuTTY for a long time (I don't recall how I found out about it originally) as it seems much more feature-rich but PuTTY is still dominant on Windows, from what I have seen.

At this point, I'm looking for things that support ed25519. I'm a fan of SecureCRT ($) and have been for years. On a related note, it's surprisingly hard to find a Windows SFTP server that supports modern ciphers when I looked recently.

I haven't tried it. I just use SSH on Cygwin nowadays... Will probably just use SSH directly on ubuntu if I get windows 10 some day.

>>[...] but PuTTY is still dominant on Windows, from what I have seen. I think that's because the Bitvise SSH client wasn't freely available until last year[1], whereas PuTTY has been freely available since the dot-com days[2]. Absolutely nothing wrong with this, but the 15+ year lead as a freely available client is probably the main contributing factor for PuTTY's dominance on Windows. Habits are hard to change sometimes.

I used Bitvise in a commercial context. Both server and client. Always seemed excellent.
