Putty is a free, Windows 32 platform Telnet, rlogin, and SSH client, but the functionality is no less than the commercial Telnet tool.
Using it for remote management of Linux VPS is very useful, its main advantages are as follows:
Completely free;
Running in Windows is very good;
Fully support SSH1 and SSH2;
Green software, no need to install, download the desktop to build a shortcut to use;
The volume is very small;
The operation is simple, all operations are implemented in a control panel.
Download complete, decompression, you can use.
The following is a photo tour of remote (SSH) management using the Putty login Linux VPS:
Hint: Enter the password is not displayed!!
Oh, and a good long time does not update, update some basic knowledge to vpser novice.
What is SSH?
SSH is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, developed by the IETF Network Working Group (Network Working Group); SSH is a security protocol based on the application layer and the transport layer.
Traditional network service programs, such as FTP, pop, and telnet, are inherently unsafe because they transmit data, user accounts, and user passwords in clear text on the network, and are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (man-in-the-middle) attacks. Is that there is another person or a machine posing as a real server to receive data from a user to the server, and then passing the data to the real server as a user.
SSH is now a more reliable protocol for providing security for Telnet sessions and other network services. The SSH protocol can effectively prevent the information leakage problem in the process of remote management. Through SSH, all transmitted data can be encrypted, as well as to prevent DNS spoofing and IP spoofing.
Another advantage of SSH is that the data being transmitted is compressed so that the speed of the transfer can be speeded up. SSH has many functions, which can replace Telnet, and can provide a secure "channel" for FTP, POP, and even PPP.
