What do you like best about Solar-PuTTY?

The original Putty lack in providing features and customization options. Solar PuTTY never provides a user experience for simple connections. Its inconvenient to able to save credentials even though theyre not encrypted. Occasional disconnections are frustrating they arent constant. Because of such flaws Solar PuTTY is non-reliable and good for my sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solar-PuTTY?

While it excels at connection, to cloud workloads and efficient session management it falls short in terms of built in security features. Although you are combining it with SSH for encryption having its security measures would be more convenient. It lacks a mode and customizable themes the interface is blur. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The networking client solar PuTTY enables the user to access another computer within the same network.

Moreover, file transfer can be secured by appending Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and Secure copy protocol (SCP). The tool is highly professional and available for free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
