PuTTY

PuTTY is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH...
- PuTTY only provides the SSH session terminal, no graphical means to communicate with the target system (eg upload/download files) Guest • Apr 2017 • 17 agrees and 8 disagrees
- PuTTY will not save the login password. It can save a list of hosts but is not nearly as featurefull as the MobaXterm one. Doesn't have tabs, multi execution, doesn't implement scp/sftp, etc. Guest • Nov 2017 • 7 agrees and 3 disagrees
- MobaXterm is two Swiss Army knives. Putty, by comparison, is just a simple bread knife. Or put differently Putty is an alternative to MobaXterm only for a very few specific use cases all around bare SSH access and a simple terminal emulation. MobaXterm is way more user-friendly too. Guest • Jul 2018 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees
- not sftp client include, poor split view, old graphics Guest • Jul 2018 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees
- it's just a terminal, mobaxterm is a remote access solution integrating much more than just a terminal (it actually integrates putty) Guest • Oct 2018
- PuTTY just offers basic functionality, while the value of MobaXterm lies in it's versatility and value adding features (like integrated password safe, many protocols, keyword highlighting etc.) Guest • Nov 2018

- It is very similar to MobaXterm at least on Linux. It can save sessions with nice GUI. kayvantehrani • Feb 2018

- Most alternatives mentioned here have nothing to do with what MobaXterm provides as features. This is the ONLY real alternative for MobaXterm. And no, i have nothing to do with Royal TSX and i hate that it's not open source. Guest • Feb 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Can't easily send commands to multiple terminals and allow user to choose which open terminals to send to like MobaXTerm, also UI isn't as good...it's the details that matter Guest • Apr 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees

not really free

This tool is great but not really free.
The number of connection is limited and new session are not saved. You must take the professional version for unlimited sessions.
The screen saver is also installed and can't be removed.
