PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32
platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. It is
written and maintained primarily by
Simon Tatham.
The latest version is beta 0.52.
LEGAL WARNING: Use of PuTTY, PSCP, PSFTP and Plink is illegal in countries where encryption is outlawed. I believe it is legal to use PuTTY, PSCP, PSFTP and Plink in England and many other countries, but I am not a lawyer and so if in doubt you should seek legal advice before downloading it. You may find this site useful (it's a survey of cryptography laws in many countries) but I can't vouch for its correctness.
Use of the Telnet-only binary (PuTTYtel) is unrestricted by any cryptography laws.
2002-04-27 Too much e-mail to answer
The volume of e-mail from PuTTY users has finally overwhelmed the development team. There is now literally more mail coming in than we can answer. Even with four of us, and even with the FAQ fielding all the most common questions. There's just too much.
We will still try to reply to questions,
feature suggestions and bug reports we receive, but we can't promise
to do so. We simply don't have enough time to reply to them all, and
if we did we'd never manage to do any actual coding. Please
try to be thoughtful, and don't send us mail unless you really can't
find anyone else to answer your question. The newsgroup
comp.security.ssh might be a good place to try with
support questions.
