I have given up on using graphical ssh clients on Windows since Microsoft started including OpenSSH. I find the combination of ssh and Windows Terminal to be a much better one. Occasionally I do still use WinSCP instead of acp or sftp from the command line.
An advantage of doing so is use of the same keys in native Windows and WSL without having to convert them.
- chrisan 6y agoWindows Terminal finally replaced everything for me when they added ability to split and resize panes. Next update I believe gets your workspace at launch instead of having to split at start up
- elktea 6y agoDoes it do a list of saved sessions like SecureCRT or mRemoteNG?
- Firehawke 6y agoSure, in a manner of speaking. You can set different profiles to automatically run a console application, so setting one to "ssh user@host" gives you a profile that starts a given SSH instantly in its own tab. I've been doing that for over two years now and I wouldn't go back to PUTTY for anything. Especially since the latest OpenSSH for Windows supports Yubikeys; the version Microsoft provides officially is a bit too old for that but if you use Chocolatey or download from the OpenSSH for Windows Github area you get a version that absolutely does work well.
- tssva 6y agoYou can open tabs and split panes at startup now using command line arguments for wt.
