What SuperPuTTY is

SuperPuTTY is a Windows application for organizing PuTTY SSH terminals in tabs and managing multiple sessions. It supports SSH, RLogin, Telnet, RAW, and RDP connections, along with file transfers using pscp and SCP/SFTP. Local terminal sessions can run through MinTTY, PowerShell, RDP, or other terminal applications. Session configurations can be imported and exported, and saved layouts retain open sessions and tab positions. SuperPuTTY can also be launched and controlled from the command line, including by other applications. It is free, with a listed plan price of $0, and is licensed under MIT for commercial and non-commercial use. Downloads are offered as an installer or portable ZIP. It requires Windows, .NET Framework 4.51 or newer, and the PuTTY SSH Client. Linux use through Mono or Wine is unsupported because the application requires Windows-specific hooks. Its documentation describes configuring PuTTY private keys for passwordless login and recommends keeping them secure.

Who it suits
