Putty is an opensource terminal emulator that supports several network protocols like Telnet, SSH, Rlogin, SCP, and Raw Socket.
The initial version of putty is dated back to January 8, 1999, and designed for Windows Operating system but now it is supporting other operating systems like macOS and Linux too. But I have never seen people using Putty in Linux or macOS because it ships with beautiful Terminal.
