To access Linux from windows, except samba, putty and securecrt are the most commonly used operations.
Putty is free, and securecrt is charged (of course, there is a cracked version ).
The default putty configuration is very nice and easy to use. The default securecrt configuration is not prepared for Linux and is ugly.
Putty can be used immediately. securecrt can be used only after complicated configuration, and securecrt does not support Emacs in Linux well.
Putty supports returning to the previous screen after Vi ends. I didn't find this feature in securecrt. After securecrt exits VI, there is a bunch of VI content on the screen, which is not refreshing.
These differences make securecrt often difficult to use.
Putty does not support automatic logon to Linux, and securecrt supports automatic logon to Linux. The difference is that Putty is safer and securecrt is more convenient.
Putty does not support logging on to multiple Linux instances at the same time. securecrt can log on to a Linux instance on each tab page.
The preceding two differences make securecrt more suitable for system administrators.
Before writingCodeTuneProgramAnd I prefer putty when using it. But when I need to operate many Linux systems like the system administrator, I prefer securecrt.
To inspire others.
PS: We can read putty as "Bodhi", and then you can think of Bodhi and Zhou Xingzhi. I think putty is much more popular than securecrt.
