Download: Poderosa – Tabbed style SSH, Telnet client for Windows XP systems

by nixCraft on September 17, 2006 · 8 comments· Last updated September 17, 2006

Generally, I recommend using Putty to access Linux/UNIX from Windows XP.

Poderosa is terminal emulators for ssh and telnet protocol with following features:
=> Tabbed style GUI - You can open multiple ssh or telnet connection at the same time from a single window (just like firefox).
=> Moreover, you can split the window into panes and allocate each connection.
=> It also supports local cygwin shell and serial ports (great for testing and troubleshooting)
=> Includes SSH2 port forwarding tool, SSH Key generation wizard, SOCKS connection etc.

Poderosa - Tabbed style SSH, Telnet client for Windows XP systems

Download Poderosa

Poderosa requires .NET Framework 2.0 and works with Windows Me, 2000, XP, and NT4.0.
=> Download Poderosa (Size 2028KB)

However, I still recommend putty, here is why:

Putty small size
Self-executable
No need to install .NET freamwork
I am using putty since last 4-5 years and it is one of the best windows program.

Found via digg

It includes port forwarding, X forwarding, plus lots of character set translations and terminal emulations. It supports the basic authentications (password, public-key, keyboard-interactive) as well as more advanced ones (smartcard, gssapi, kerberos, activedirectory)
It is fully unicode aware and the UI has been translated into 7 languages! Quite robust and mature.
You can download it here and try it out:

As its homepage says, mRemote is a full-featured, multi-tab remote connections manager.
Support not only SSH, but also RDP (Remote Desktop) VNC (Virtual Network Computing) ICA (Independent Computing Architecture) SSH (Secure Shell) Telnet (TELecommunication NETwork) HTTP/S (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) Rlogin (Rlogin) RAW.
