    Review KiTTY

    KiTTY is an SSH and telnet client for Windows based on the popular PuTTY.

    Linux and Mac OS X Operating Systems include connecting to an SSH server without installing any additional software. However, Windows does not have any tool to connect to SSH. That is why PuTTY was created, to allow SSH connections, and to facilitate the handling and organization of created sessions. This program is updated frequently, but certain features are not included.

    KiTTY has all the features of PuTTY and adds some new ones. KiTTY is based on PuTTY 0.63. So we can connect using SSH, telnet, or computer serial port.

    Some of the improvements that bring this software are:

    • Data Portability : We can save all sessions we have created and the program configuration and use them on another PC. This function is ideal for storing all the data relative to our habitual connections and carrying them in a pen drive or USB Storage.
    • Sessions Organization : this allows us to create folders to store the sessions. We can create and organize the folders to our taste. For example, we can create work, Home, and collage folders. And each of them stores the sessions that we use. By accessing the appropriate folder, we will see only the sessions that belong to that folder.
    • Automatic Connections to SSH and telnet servers : with this option, we can save the user name and password of the sessions and access them without entering any data. Very useful to quickly connect to the desired server.
    • Automatic command sending at the login : we can set up a command that will be executed right after the session start. We can schedule a pause of X seconds before the command runs automatically.
    • Keyboard Shortcuts for launching certain commands : We can set up a key combination to execute a command with this option. For example, if we regularly access the MySQL database, we can configure the key combination “Ctrl+Alt+M” to run the command “mysql -h localhost -u user -ppass db”.
    • Execution of Local Scripts on the remote server : if we have a Script saved on our PC and we want to run it on the remote machine, we will not need to upload the script or recreate it on the remote server. By pressing the keys “Ctrl+F2”, a file browser will appear where we can select the script we are running on the remote server.
    • Transparency in the console windows : this function is useful and common in other remote connection programs. We will be able to set the level of transparency of the command window in such a way that we will be able to see everything that is located behind the connection window and, at the same time, type commands on the remote server.
    • Write Protection : this function prevents typing any key. Very useful if we are running some important commands that can be interrupted if some key is pressed accidentally.
    • Always visible : this option allows the session window to be always in the foreground, so we can look at what is happening in the open session.

    This program is, without a doubt, ideal for system administrators with Windows as their primary Operating System. It is free, simple to use, and with lots of useful functionality.
