It's still the only SSH client I know that can change most of its settings during an existing session, especially in a cross-platform way (it is available for Linux). Good software indeed.
- benjohnson 8y agoForgive me for a dumb question, but I'm trying to be helpful. Are you talking about tunnels and port forwards? OpenSSH can do that - you type in an escape sequence and you can work your magic on the fly.
- soccerdave 8y agoJust wanted to thank you for this answer. I never knew about OpenSSH escape sequences and I've used ssh for years. https://pleiades.ucsc.edu/hyades/SSH_Escape_Sequences https://pleiades.ucsc.edu/hyades/SSH_Escape_Sequences
- jkaplowitz 8y agoNo, I'm talking about a lot more settings than that including things about terminal emulation and keyboards. Next time you use PuTTY, try opening up the settings window for an existing session and see how many can be changed without having to restart afresh. Some of these could be changed in various more disjointed ways in Linux or Windows, but it's nicely unified and cross-platform in PuTTY. I'll admit I rarely leverage this flexibility, but it's cool enough that it seemed worth noting in this sub-thread about singing PuTTY's well-deserved praises.
