No one said bad. Putty is awesome, it's just always funny when the best program on Linux is a Windows program running in Wine.
I didn't consider serial ports, only SSH, in that case I actually do struggle to suggest something better.
As for terminals, I don't know, I just run Xterm.
- 112233 1y agoxterm is actually great, if you know to invoke and use the exotic control UI. That software is ancient. Using putty's plink/pscp/pftp commandline tools are refreshingly straightforward and also have merit, at least as a way of not dealing with OpenSSH maintainer tantrums (each release inventing wonderful ways to break your setup or confuse you for no good reason). It is all around small solid piece of software (like his puzzle collection), that is a magnet for all sorts of crooks that try to distribute their "spiked" versions, or try to charge for it... I am amazed it has not gone the way of libtomcrypt yet.
