PuTTY Connection Manager for Tabbed PuTTY

]]> PuTTY is a free Windows client that allows users to log into remote systems through raw, Telnet, SSH, remote login, and serial connections. It is primarily used for logging into UNIX systems through Telnet and SSH, and at 444KB (direct executable) is  very popular with UNIX lovers even though its last version of 0.60 beta has not been updated in nearly two years.

I recently discovered that there is a tabbed version of PuTTY called the PuTTY Connection Manager allowing multiple PuTTY instances in a single window.

PuTTY Connection Manager has several other features like workspace customizations, auto-login and post-login commands, Import/Export connection info to XML, and localization in French. Though the installation installs a help document, it runs as a standalone application and is easily portable.

The app crashed on a few instances while I was using it, and it takes a few seconds to start, but I find it very useful. Also, considering that it is still in version 0.7 alpha and is actively being updated, I have every hope that it will become more stable in the coming future.

The app was developed using C# and it needs Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. Unlike PuTTY this is not open source but a freeware.
