SSH Clients for Windows
-
I like Bitvise for the server side port forwarding abilities. Awesome that you can force port forwarding from the server side. Client side SFTP server is nice too. Server side is licensed.
I use MobaXTerm for networking stuff. Love that you can open 4 windows in a quad tile format and enter the same commands on everything at the same time. Great for standard switch configs. Also love the SSHPass addon so you can have 1 line in your up arrow buffer and easily jump between multiple devices without prompting to accept keys, ask for username or ask for password:
sshpass -p 'MyPassword' ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no [email protected]SNMPv3 SSL nonsense has always been a pain for me on Windows. Super easy addon in MobaXTerm.
Surprised no one mentioned Tera Term. I think it's licensed. Have seen a few people use it for the scripting abilities.

How is that different from Putty?

I love mobaxterm, switched 2 months back from Putty to mobaxterm free and now purchased that (got that from my company! :))
I like few features specifically like, import all your connection from Putty, SFTP browser along with SSH, so local file transfer to and from the server is easy, at the same time managing the servers, multi execution and split window.
@dafyre i guess the tool you are thinking about is RoyalTS

@dafyre Really? I just paid about 60 bucks for annual maintenance. Seems to be cheaper than the pro version of mobaxterm.

Putty is only client side. Bitvise server I can force port forwarding on any client that connects or per username. Can also pre-configure SFTP mappings on the server side. So if I'm away from my laptop and using a different computer I just have to login and get all my port forward and SFTP mappings without manually configuring them on the client side.

Haven't looked at the pro version but what do you get extra that's useful?
-
@Ambarishrh Yeah, that was it.

No annual renewal for the MobaXTerm. Just renewals for major version upgrades.
For Free vs Pro see : http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html

I am liking the look of mobaxterm. Pretty neat tool.

I bought MobaXterm before I'd heard about RoyalTS. That's another one that looks pretty good.

Wow this thing does look pretty awesome. I gotta give it a try. Huge 100MB+ download for a management tool. Must be a ton of features in it.
-
@quicky2g Yeah, there are. It's way slick. A little bit of a learning curve if you're not used to the way it does things, but well worth a good look.

Bringing this one back. Are there any programs that will color code, similar to the way notepad++ or the code blocks on ML will?

Colour code inside of SSH?

How do you mean? That would be very difficult I would think.
-
VIM will do that.

Like command words are color coded?

Right, but I think he means at the SSH client level?

Is that even a thing? Maybe I am just wishing for rainbows and unicorns.
