There are a few different options in Windows that are all measurably superior to PuTTY:
Install WSL2 - you get the Linux SSH of your choice.
As mentioned above, Windows now ships with OpenSSH and windows terminal is good.
My favourite, but now probably obsolete solution was to install MobaXTerm which shipped with an SSH client. It's still great and there is a usable "free" version of it, but WSL2 does everything for me now when I'm forced to use windows.
- lemme_tell_ya 3y agoMobaXTerm was great for X11 forwarding
- smackeyacky 3y agoIt still is, but Microsoft very quiety released WSLg for Windows 10, something they said they wouldn't do, it would be Windows 11 only. I only found this out by accident on a machine I had installed MobaXTerm on, but didn't start it. Installed / fired up some basic X apps and they worked without it (hello xeyes!) MobaXTerm is still great for managing SSH login details.
- chasil 3y agoI have some rhel5 systems where I have compiled PuTTY psftp and plink, because it's the easiest way to get a modern client that can do chacha20-poly1305 with ed25519.
