10 best SSH Clients for Windows: free alternatives to PuTTY
If for whatever reason you prefer not to use a separate software for SSH remote administration, then FireSSH addon for Firefox and Chrome can be a great alternative. A great example is when you are on a system that you do not have administrative privileges. While portable SSH clients could work on such Windows PCs, FireSSH extension is platform independent.

  • SSH clients like Putty?
    There's MTPuTTy, which is basically PuTTy with a clickable server list down the side, opening each one in a new tab. Https://ttyplus.com/multi-tabbed-putty/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What is your favorite multi-tabbed PuTTY software?
    MTPuTTY looks ok, but it seems can only allows to cicle between sessions (previous/next), it doesn't allow to switch to session X for example. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Traveling Developer Setup: IPP 2020 12.9”, Magic Keyboard, RaspberryPi 4b-8GB (m.2 SSD boot). I use Shelly to ssh into the RPi to work in Python, Jupyter, Docker/K8s, LAMP stack, etc., during long layoevers, in the air, at the library, or coffee shop. RPi connected to IPP via USB-C for power + data
    For Windows users familiar with the ever-popular Putty, this is a great utility, Mulit-Tabbed Putty, that is similar, may better, in some ways: https://ttyplus.com/multi-tabbed-putty/. Source: over 2 years ago
