winget install --id PuTTY.PuTTYAbout PuTTY
PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet, Rlogin, and SUPDUP network protocols. These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY implements the client end of that session: the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs. In really simple terms: you run PuTTY on a Windows machine, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine. PuTTY opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine, and...
What's new in 0.83.0.0
- Support for ML-KEM, the NIST-standardised post-quantum key exchange mechanism. (In addition to NTRU Prime, which has been supported since 0.78.) - Support for full Unicode file names in Windows file selector dialogs. (However, these do not yet round-trip through a saved session.) - Bug fix: psftp -b works again. - Bug fix: assertion failure if an SSH connection times out at the login prompt. - Bug fix: crash in Pageant if an SSH connection is abandoned while waiting for a deferred decryption passphrase. - Bug fix: tight loop if PuTTY tried to send an empty answerback string. - Bug fix: accidental truncation of some configuration edit boxes' contents to 127 characters. - Bug fix: Windows XP support was accidentally broken, and now reinstated. - Bug fix: restored interoperation with third-party tools that auto-fill login prompts by sending ^M for Return. - Bug fix: confusion when terminal window resized by tools like FancyZones. - Bug fix: the small keypad keys didn't reliably work in the terminal on Unix.
