What is Putty SSH Client?

PuTTY is an SSH and telnet client, developed originally by Simon Tatham for the Windows platform. PuTTY is open source software that is available with source code and is developed and supported by a group of volunteers.

Why choose Putty instead of other Linux software?

The strength of Putty lies in its enormous usability. There is no administrator on this planet who does not use it actively and is not used to it. Everything is arranged exactly as it should be and everyone knows where it is. An additional plus is its reliability and exclusive set of features.

How to install?

In Ubuntu / Lubuntu linux if fairly easy just two commands:


sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install putty

What about uninstall?

Yet again easy....


sudo apt-get remove putty
