What is PuTTY?

PuTTY

So, you're a software developer working with a team that's spread out all over the place. You need to hop onto a remote server where all the project code lives, right? That's where PuTTY comes in!

What is PuTTY?

With PuTTY, you can securely connect to that remote server using SSH. This means your data and chats stay safe and encrypted. Whether you're at home, chilling in the office, or traveling around, you can easily access that server.

No Fancy Graphics Here

Now, don't get thrown off by the fact that PuTTY doesn't really have a graphical interface—except for its Settings window. Most systems like servers and networking devices usually use command-line interfaces (CLI). So it's not really a big deal!

Terminal Emulation

The cool thing about this app is its ability to emulate different terminal types. This ensures compatibility with tons of systems, letting you interact smoothly no matter what interface you're dealing with. Even if you're a GUI fan, PuTTY's terminal emulation makes it simple to handle tasks like system management and troubleshooting.

Your Data Is Safe!

Packing secure protocols like SSH means all your communication between local and remote PCs is protected. When accessing the remote PC, it checks who you are before letting you in—keeping unauthorized folks out of sensitive systems.

Authentication Made Easy

Puppy lets you verify your identity in two ways: with passwords or cryptographic keys. If you choose keys, you'll have two: one public and one private.

How Key Authentication Works

Puppy sends the public key to the server for verification. If it matches an authorized key, the server will send back a challenge that only your private key can solve! This method is safer and easier since you won't have to memorize long passwords.
