- jchw 7y agoJust to be clear: there are advantages to OpenSSH too. The Windows port has an agent that runs as a service, you can configure using the standard .ssh/config mechanism that works with lots of FOSS software, and etc.
- pfranz 7y agoHoly jeez are there benefits to OpenSSH over PuTTY. I have to walk end users through setting up PuTTY. Since configuration uses the registry and there are no import/export configs I have to walk them through the UI, which is a mess (especially when they miss a step). For macOS users I just give them a command line to copy/paste. We've considered requiring WSL (a few gig install) just to get ssh in Windows because those users have had better experiences. Thankfully, it's now built in.
