WHAT IS PUTTY
There are many ways to log in to your server via SSH. Today we will explain how to do that using putty.
Putty is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application.
It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw socket connection. The name ???PuTTY??? has no definitive meaning, though ???tty??? is the name for a terminal in the Unix tradition, usually held to be short for Teletype.
PuTTY was originally written for Microsoft Windows, but it has been ported to various other operating systems. Official ports are available for some Unix-like platforms, with work-in-progress ports to Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X, and unofficial ports have been contributed to platforms such as Symbian and Windows Mobile.
