Putty is a free implementation of ssh and telnet for windows and unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator It is written and maintained primarily by simon tatham. Past releases of putty are versions we thought were reasonably likely to work well, at the time they were released However, later releases will almost always have fixed bugs and/or added new features. This page contains download links for the latest development snapshot of putty The existing putty licence document already gives you permission to use or distribute putty in pretty much any way which does not involve pretending you wrote it or suing us if it goes wrong.
The des, md5, sha, and crc32 implementations used in putty are now all written by me and distributable under the putty licence, instead of being borrowed from a variety of other places. Some idea of who i am Free software i've written, which you can download An ssh client for windows, also able to talk to serial ports and speak older insecure protocols like telnet.
