User interface extension for the SSH and telnet client PuTTY.
PuTTY is the most widely used Telnet and SSH client in the world and with it, you can use SuperPuTTY. Thanks to this program, we can remotely control a device with Linux as the operating system that is on our local network or on another network, as long as we have the access credentials and the device supports remote command execution.
With SuperPuTTY, we've got an alternative user interface for remote sessions and thus a way to organize connections in a more uniform manner.
Through SuperPuTTY, we can remotely launch a terminal and execute commands on another device. To access it, we only need an IP address, port, username, and password. If everything works correctly, we can now execute commands on that device.
Create SSH connections or use a proxy
Connections can also be configured: it is possible to go through a proxy, to prefer an SSH 1 or SSH 2 connection, to set up compression during SSH sessions, to use a passive mode for Telnet negotiations, etc.
Other new features include new forms of SSH jump host support (you can tell the SSH proxy server to run a command to establish the connection); additional cryptography (the hopefully quantum-proof NTRU Prime key exchange, updated list of GSSAPI key exchange methods, new integer Diffie-Hellman groups and AES-GCM); and a system that allows a third-party helper program to provide answers to keyboard-interactive authentication questions (eg, to automate one-time password schemes).
In closing
All in all, SuperPuTTY is an alternative way to access some of the features and functions available from the people who created PuTTY and other popular open source tools such as WinSCP, TightVNC, FileZilla, MinTTY, etc.
