Easy to use. Excellent documentation and lots of examples. I've being using it for years to open remote terminals and to create tunnels without experiencing troubles or hangs up. A must in my personal toolbox.

I have used Putty for a number of years. It allows all the access you need to access your SSH server securely and warns of a change in RSA keys when a condition has changed on the local machine.

Putty is excellent but I recommend you don't install Putty on its own instead install WinScp which includes Putty (WinScp is also available from snapfiles.com) and get the benefit of the easy Norton Commander file transfers and file management interface.

I used it in the office for many months to capture logs from my alarm system and pbx. When you close the program or terminate the connection, it seems like the program does not properly terminates the telnet session. Many times I could not restore the telnet session for a long time. This did not happen with other software.
