KiTTY

KiTTY is a handy little application that makes it super easy to use the Telnet protocol and connect to remote computers. It’s built on the PuTTY core, but it adds some cool features that really improve your experience.

What is Telnet?

So, what exactly is Telnet? It’s a network connection protocol that lets you send text commands to a remote system. While it’s not as popular as before due to security concerns, many network administrators still use it to access remote computers and execute commands.

Connecting Made Easy

This tool lets you connect to any workstation by just entering the IP address and choosing the connection type. Besides using Telnet, you can also opt for raw, SSH, or serial connections. Plus, if you're someone who juggles multiple connections, you can save your settings so you can jump back in quickly later!

Secure Connections with Ease

If security is on your mind (and it should be!), KiTTY can work with SOCKS or HTTP proxy servers. By default, it uses AES encryption for SSH connections but also gives you options like Blowfish and 3DES encryption algorithms.

User-Friendly Interface

The interface of KiTTY is super straightforward! You can easily access all your session parameters, terminal window settings, and connection info right away. Plus, there’s even an option to customize how your terminal looks - from its name to its color!

Background Running Feature

A cool feature of this app is that it can run in the background. This way, you can quickly start a session or minimize terminal windows when needed. The terminal window even supports hyperlinks! You can open links directly by setting up your preferred internet browser in the Options menu.

Save Time with Command Execution

No one likes wasting time! That’s why KiTTY allows you to automatically run a set of commands when connecting to a server. Whether it's just one command or a whole script from an external file, it's all possible!

Portable Options Available

You can enjoy all these great features right on your computer or run the app from a removable device if you download Portable KiTTY.

Part of Great Collections

KiTTY is included in several download collections like SSH Clients, PuTTY Clients, and Telnet Client. So whether you're managing networks or just need reliable access, this app has got you covered!
