PuTTY is a free open source cross-platform SSH and telnet client, even with more than 20 years, is still one of the most popular SSH client, especially on the Windows platform.
Linux distributions come with built-in SSH functionality in their terminals, but in the real world, I see PuTTY is more widely used Linux system, rather than the default.
Possible reasons for this include:
- Familiarity: user when using the familiar Windows easier to use SSH client.
- Convenience: PuTTY's GUI undoubtedly make it easier to use, especially SSH and / or terminal novice.
- Debug mode: debug connection with the original socket and the serial port more friendly.
Perhaps there are other reasons that you may want to use PuTTY differ in GNU / Linux. It's ok. The following are the steps to install PuTTY on a Linux distribution of your choice.
