In April, I wrote about the free Solar-Putty UI from SolarWinds for managing all of your SSH connections so I thought I would update this post with another PuTTY integration that surfaced in the email thread. Of course, VMware admins know this is the first tool they fire up when an ESXi host is misbehaving. I use it almost everyday to access and manage both my AWS hosted Blog (this one you are reading now) and my Home Assistant instance. Everyone is familiar with it and we all use it A LOT. The email sparked a good conversation internally at IPM about different ways we all use PuTTY since the terminal is such a staple in the IT professional’s tool bag. You just need to make a small modification to your path.How to Install and Use Putty on Windows 10 - Techtown
You don't need to run in the bash window to access SSH. But I find tools like bash and cygwin offer a "worst of both worlds" experience on Windows. Friends don't let friends use the git bash shell on windowsĭon't get me wrong here - I'm not anti bash when I am on Linux. Many might use these in the git bash shell. Well many are unaware that git for windows bundles several Linux familiar tools. Ok, maybe not.but its very likely that if you are reading this and find yourself needing to SSH here and there, you also use GIT. I just want to type 'ssh in my console of choice and have it work.
Cygwin and Putty run in separate console experiences. There are lots of annoyances I find in each but the main thing they both lack is an integrated SSH experience in the shell console I use for everything else (mainly powershell) day in/day out. These still work today but I personally find the experience of both to be sub-optimal. For the longest time, a couple of the more popular choices have been Cygwin and Putty. Every once in a while I hear of windows users trying to find a good SSH client for Windows to connect to their Linux boxes.
