I switched to MOBAXterm for this years ago. I need to give this a try. MOBAXterm does have a full X server and X11-Forwarding which is very handy.
Never heard of this alternative to PuTTY before. Looks like just what I've wanted! How do I find out about other utilities like this I may be missing?
PS Sorry I just ruined your morning productivity.

Has anybody else tried using native Win32 OpenSSH like myself instead of PuTTy? https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH Edit: Also, the linked site for MTPuTTy doesn't seem to want to load for me.
Yes, with a lot of issues. They are open issues and being actively worked on, but it isn't exactly stable enough to use everyday, at least for me. --- Almost all the issues are intermittent, and you might not be affected, but my luck has been bad: * Hangs till return, sometimes. [0] * v-flag can hang. [1] * Alt sends \0. [2] * Authentication fails. [3] * Nmap fills the hard drive when sshd is running. Sometimes. [4]…
I use to use PuTTY and then later MOBAXterm. PuTTY was a bit too simplistic for my taste and MOBAXterm way too much bloat. These days I just SSH out of WSL using ConEmu ( https://conemu.github.io/ ) as the console. Seems to fit my overall workflow the best and gives me a mostly common experience between my Windows and Linux systems; including essentially a tabbed terminal experience. I still use plink.exe from the Pu…

Citation needed.
I don't have a anything to cite either, other than personal anecdotes. This has happened many times to folks in my workplace. They come across the PuTTY download page and think that it's a shady looking site, and then continue looking elsewhere. We instead just deploy putty.exe to everyone's machine directly now.

I don't find PuTTY that stable, it crashes on me around once a day using it as an SSH tunnel

Why do non technical users need to use PuTTY? Probably showing my general world knowledge ignorance here.
It's important to note that, especially in large environments, has different skill levels. I know a guy that can go deep into analyzing a kernel dump and figure out exactly what made some obscure application crash, but god help him when it comes to doing basic functions on his Windows PC.
Being good at your sysadmin job doesn't always correlate with correctly identifying shady sites.

Still looking for a stable SSH daemon for Windows, because I haven't found one yet, which makes any time I need to work from Windows a real pain.
As an avid tmux user I rarely find the need for a tabbed Putty. Though if I had to choose an alternative Putty fork, Kitty would get my vote.. http://www.9bis.net/kitty/
