with putty i would be surprised if most didn't run it straight from the desktop. i would be a dirty liar if i said i haven't, countless times.
This. Without an installer that puts a link into the start menu, everyone I've ever worked with just dumps it on the desktop. I used to throw a symlink into the start menu, but when other devs used my machine they expected it to be on the desktop. Just one of those quirks of using PUTTY

But why not just use the installer?
On Windows 10, with Windows Subsystem for Linux installed, I don't find myself using Putty anymore.
Putty used to be the go-to tool for Windows SSH, but nowadays I'm using Bitvise SSH client. It's worth a try.
Have you ever tried XShell5? https://www.netsarang.com/products/xsh_overview.html It's free for Home/school use. I have tried all Windows SSH clients, and it is by far the best SSH client I have ever used.

Long time user of Putty, like many here. I liked this quote from their FAQ (A.3.3 What's the point of the Unix port? Unix has OpenSSH): "There were development advantages as well; porting PuTTY to Unix was a valuable path-finding effort for other future ports, and also allowed us to use the excellent Linux tool Valgrind to help with debugging, which has already improved PuTTY's stability on all platforms."
I wish they would finally implement file transfers via copy/paste mechanism inside an active terminal window. As far as I know this feature would be unique across platforms. If someone does know of an SSH terminal client that does this, please reply.
Reminds me of the bad old days of kermit and x/y/zmodem. http://www.extraputty.com/features/xmodem.html looks like a throwback to those days, over an ssh session. I wonder what you have to run on the server side for it to work? Does uuencode or base64 work for you? I use it a lot to move stuff (aka my toolkit) to systems where I'm connected via citrix -> rdp -> ssh -> ssh. Amazingly, it works fine, though it can be s…
sz(1) I assume (a tool with considerable seniority). Found for example in the lrzsz package on Debian.
It always makes me sad to see that the PuTTY download page is served over unsecure HTTP.

This is the information I came to find. Thanks!
Why would such a small, simple program need to be 64 bit? Exactly what changes when moving puTTY from 32 bit to 64 bit? It now takes up more memory?
