PuTTY was originally developed for Windows and is also available on other operating systems through ports and packages maintained by the community.
PuTTY can be used to access Linux servers, network equipment, virtual machines and other systems that provide compatible remote access protocols.
After starting a session, users can configure the destination host, connection type and port before opening the terminal. SSH connections can also be configured with authentication credentials, keys, proxy settings and forwarding options.
For frequently accessed servers, PuTTY allows connection settings to be saved as named sessions, making it easier to reuse the same configuration later.
PuTTY is open-source software and its source code is publicly available.
