- Download PuTTY for Mac and Installation Guide PuTTY is a free, highly configurable and open-source SSH client which makes it convenient to connect to a remote server and transfer files over the network. Mainly aimed for the use of programmers and network administrator, it helps establish secure connections when transferring data over the network.
- CNET Download provides free downloads for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices across all categories of software and apps, including security, utilities, games, video and browsers.
The ability for developers and programmers to use an SSH command line within the PuTTY tool on Mac operating systems is now available. Along with SSH server capabilities, PuTTY is an FTP client: file transfer protocol. The FTP method includes a host computer client and a remote server.
PuTTY's raw connection type is just a way of making a raw TCP connection. You can use telnet or nc to achieve the same thing in Terminal:

(Q) How do I expand the Putty window it is very small by default?
