SSH Clients for Windows
-
If you need Windows, run Linux in a VM on it and that works great
Really, though, I just use PuTTY. Always have.

I've only got 8 of them loaded at the moment. I learned UNIX way before Microsoft started in on this thing called powershell, so I just get things done faster with that different tool set.

I learned BASH shell before Microsoft had Windows for business use yet! I learned UNIX before Windows 3.11 and BASH shell many years before that.

We're showing our age here I think. I started using computers back in the days of DOS4.0, and a sysadmin on IRIX 5.4.11. Kinda scaring myself that I actually remember the exact version/subversion.

I started on DOS 5.0

Youngster!
I started using computers with the CBM SuperPET. Learned to program on DOS 1.0. Started my UNIX Admin work on the original Solaris release but that was five years after I had been doing programming work.

Will make this a bit easier, my big dates are:
1979: Used and fell in love with computers.
1984: Started using Mac and DOS extensively, learned to program
1989: First internship in a Fortune 20 company, programming
1994: First UNIX Admin position
1999: Joined NTG -
I use ASG VisionApp Remote Desktop 2015 for all my server/appliance "remoting" needs.
http://www.visionapp.com/germany/solutions/asg-remote-desktop.htmlTabbed RDP, VNC, ICA, SSH (via Putty) and Telnet. Licensed per admin so I can install on my workstation and laptops.

When you were 3?
Yup. My dad brought home a computer from Eastman Kodak and showed me programming. I still remember watching him write code standing in front of our bay windows of the old farm house. I didn't understand them at all, but he explained how he was telling the computer what to do. He wrote a program that made a stick figure move across the green terminal screen. I thought that it was the coolest thing ever and I've been obsessed with computers ever since.
Spent the next eight years cajoling my parents to get a computer at home.

Back on topic.
I use Bitvise for SSH.
-
@JaredBusch I was looking at that, do you like it?

Very much. I have been using it for 5 years or so now.

Yeowch that's expensive!
I use MobaXTerm (http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html) -- I think there are a few others here that use another one... I can't remember for the life of me what it is, lol.

I like Bitvise for the server side port forwarding abilities. Awesome that you can force port forwarding from the server side. Client side SFTP server is nice too. Server side is licensed.
I use MobaXTerm for networking stuff. Love that you can open 4 windows in a quad tile format and enter the same commands on everything at the same time. Great for standard switch configs. Also love the SSHPass addon so you can have 1 line in your up arrow buffer and easily jump between multiple devices without prompting to accept keys, ask for username or ask for password:
sshpass -p 'MyPassword' ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no [email protected]SNMPv3 SSL nonsense has always been a pain for me on Windows. Super easy addon in MobaXTerm.
Surprised no one mentioned Tera Term. I think it's licensed. Have seen a few people use it for the scripting abilities.

How is that different from Putty?
-
I love mobaxterm, switched 2 months back from Putty to mobaxterm free and now purchased that (got that from my company! :))
I like few features specifically like, import all your connection from Putty, SFTP browser along with SSH, so local file transfer to and from the server is easy, at the same time managing the servers, multi execution and split window.
@dafyre i guess the tool you are thinking about is RoyalTS
-
@dafyre Really? I just paid about 60 bucks for annual maintenance. Seems to be cheaper than the pro version of mobaxterm.

Putty is only client side. Bitvise server I can force port forwarding on any client that connects or per username. Can also pre-configure SFTP mappings on the server side. So if I'm away from my laptop and using a different computer I just have to login and get all my port forward and SFTP mappings without manually configuring them on the client side.
