PuTTY Portable is a Telnet Client and SSH Server for Windows that is packed with features and can be transported anywhere on a USB stick or external storage device. Whats more, it's completely free. Firstly however, note that the developer issues a warning on the program website that PuTTY Portable may not be legal in your country so check the law before you use it!

Basically, PuTTY Portable allows you to connect to another computer remotely using the Telnet and SSH protocols. So for example, you can install it on a Windows machine and it will connect to a Unix machine. This is great if you are administrator as you can use PuTTY Portable to take full control of the machine and work at it remotely.

In the PuTTY window that's opened, you can send messages to the other machine and vice versa. This leads to one of the major annoyances when using PuTTY Portable - the program does not remember the credentials for successive logins. This is understandable for security reasons, but could end up being very annoying if you use PuTTY Portable to regularly connect to an external client.

If you need to control a remote computer and need a client that supports SSH, then PuTTY Portable is a superb option considering that it's totally free and portable.

Breaches of security are one of the few downsides of the Internet age and can cost you big time. Thankfully, there are ways to prevent your data being compromised, and the SSH encryption technology provides an almost impeccable solution.

The OpenSSH software includes applications such as SSH service, a client, a public key generator, authentication agent, etc. In practice, all of these programs serve the same function, which is to remotely manage systems that have SSH encryption installed.

Thus, once you have provided the username and password using OpenSSH, all aspects of the remote system are accessible. The installation of all the components is done automatically, however, the key must be activated manually with the commands that appear in OpenSSH's program manual. This means you may need to call in the help of an expert if you're not familiar with encryption keys, as it can be a tricky process.

All in all, OpenSSH provides a reliable and effective solution for sharing information using SSH encryption, although beginners may find it a little daunting.

For starters, be warned that WinSCP is not the easiest FTP client to use. Because of the extra security features, WinSCP can appear overwhelming at first, although it does feature two modes of graphical user interface. WinSCP also supports integration with Windows in terms of drag & dropping files, pasting URLs and shortcuts.

The key to WinSCP is the fact that it supports both SFTP and SCP protocols over SSH-1 and SSH-2. Of course, it also supports normal FTP protocols too. It also features full SSH support and has entirely configurable security and encryption options. A particularly nice addition is the Session Saving option. If you want to save your session configuration, you can use the save button on the login dialog. In this way, you can make huge FTP file transfers and not worry about stopping and completing it later.

WinSCP isn't the most user-friendly FTP client out there, but it must be one of the most secure.
