What is Wetty?

Wetty = Web + tty

As a system administrator, if you are on a Linux desktop, you can use it to connect to a remote server like a GNOME terminal (or similar). If you are in Windows, you can use an SSH client such as Putty to connect to a remote computer, and then access the Internet in a browser and check emails.

(LCTT note: in short, this is a Web browser-based Remote Terminal)
