Been looking for a tabbed putty client for years. Though, I'm a bit saddened by the UI. While I do think it looks "good", I feel that the Chrome tab UI seems to be incredibly overused nowadays.

From the description:

"The session management and autologon is included and more feathers will come."

Could this be a misspelling/autocorrect of "features", or is using "feathers" here idiomatic? Not trying to point the finger, I'm curious.

The writer is not a native user of English. The github site is full of nonstandard usage and small errors.

Darn good for a 2nd++ language, though.

I do want a tabbed putty client, but this one doesn't support the Windows 7 Aero-Snap features that the standard putty client recently added support for, so I will hold off.

ak2173• 15 years ago

I was confused about those, by the way. What exactly does the new Aero support in putty do? I haven't noticed anything different in how it behaves.

Previously, when you sent a putty window to the right-hand side of the screen with <Win>+<Right> (for example), it wouldn't resize, and you'd end up with the window sticking out and not taking up the correct area on the screen.

Now it actually works. :)

My office uses the existing PuTTy Connection Manager for tabs.

It had a few quirks, but it works.

PuTTYtabs: http://www.raisin.de/putty-tabs/putty-tabs.html

Or Connection Manger with arrangable tabs: http://puttycm.free.fr/cms/

It's a great idea, but not new...

I use PenguiNet over PuTTy - nice clean interface and excellent support - http://www.siliconcircus.com/

falcolas• 15 years ago

I tried out PenguiNet on a previous recommendation from HN, and was sadly disappointed. They do not support setting the background and foreground colors separately from the explicit ASCII colors.

Due to various conditions with my eyesight, I can see the text on the terminal much more clearly when it's dark text on a light background. You can do this in PenguiNet, but then you loose the ability to specifically create black text in your output, since it's now the color of the background.

Putty's support for this feature is pretty much seamless, in contrast. I believe that this is on Silicon Cirus' wish list, but until that's supported it's mostly a non-starter for me.

eropple2• 15 years ago

For your case I can see that being a big deal. I'd strongly recommend PenguiNet for people with slightly more conventional needs--aside from feature reqs like this, I feel that it's head and shoulders above PuTTY and the programs that hang as a bag off the side of it like PuTTYCM.

I tend to use screen, rather than use tabbed CLI windows. Or you could use tmux.

ronnier• 15 years ago

I do also, although more for the ability to reconnect to my session.

ak2173• 15 years ago

I'd like to see tabs support in mintty...

th0ma5• 15 years ago

all the tabbed versions i've played with have windows API artifacts, hangs, bugs, etc... probably the most successful thing i've tried was (tediously) konsole from KDE compiled using Cygwin

sjsotelo• 15 years ago

I think this is great! its simple and works... also it remembers my SSH keys for each instance.

cgbystrom• 15 years ago

If you use Pageant with PuTTy you need not worry about what SSH keys for which server.

I use poderosa as my tabbed putty/cygwin client

http://en.poderosa.org/

It's REALLY awesome and I absolutely love it, but there hasn't been a release since 2006.

Thankfully, I haven't needed a new release.

quicksilver03• 15 years ago

Have a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/poderosa/ , the latest beta is from June 2011. I have been running it daily and it is very stable for me.

eropple2• 15 years ago

Whoa, thanks. I moved to PenguiNet because older builds of Poderosa had severe and crippling rendering problems, but I'll give it another shot.

johnsea• 15 years ago

...and I use TakeCommand/LE.

For me so far the best (for working in teh cygwin bash (used Terminator before, and Putty, and Console2...)).

toblender• 15 years ago

Nice, I keep finding myself pressing ctrl-T when I'm using putty. Now hopefully will actually do something.

linker3000• 15 years ago

I've tried a few tabby things in my time, but settled on mRemoteNG for combined ssh (PuTTY), RDP, VNC, ICA tabbed goodness. If they could shoehorn Xming in there as well it would be near-perfect.

bryogenic• 15 years ago

cygwin + ssh + screen is my simple solution

IMO the best SSH client on Windows is SecureCRT, though it's not free.

cytzol• 15 years ago

I've heard of SecureCRT, but I haven't seen anything that would draw me away from PuTTY - what do you use it for? (genuinely curious)

samuel1604• 15 years ago

the first impression i had when clicking on the link, it's got to be a old and unmaintained project because it's on sourceforge... nice to see some new projects are still going there, good for them.
