      “KiTTY is a fork from version 0.63 of PuTTY, the best telnet / SSH client in the world.”

      No. The best SSH client in the world is ssh.

      I use Eltima’s Serial Port Monitor (https://www.eltima.com/products/serial-port-monitor/) for serial communication as an advanced alternative to terminal apps like Putty. The utility has the terminal mode which helps to emulate sending data.

      My F-Secure antivirus software said that Bitvise tried to change the antivirus software!
      I suggest that you contact F-Secure to ask if you should keep Bitvise on the list still…

      Nothing beats Mobaxterm yet. Really astonishing that it took so long before someone finally strted thinking what would be useful to put into the software instead of just creating bloatware. Mobs rocks, Am using it for years now.

      Thank you for this very useful post !
      I did not know MobaXterm, so just try it and it is really great.
      I get all the feature I miss in others. By the way the SSH gateway is awesome for RDP and VNC connection.

      mRemoteNG rocks! I’m fine with putty, but I wanted an easy “menu”-like list of urls to choose from. I’m getting that and much more.

      If we talking about SSH clients then mRemoteNG is NOT replacement.
      It is a nice GUI wrapper for bunch of protocols, but internally mRemoteNG using old Putty (or one can replace with KiTTY, but it isnt SSH client.

      Thank you very much for these alternatives to Putty: I found MobaXterm very useful and suitable for my daily work. The graphical Sftp browser is really a killer feature!! There is a screencast on their website which shows all the advantages of this solution: http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net
