MTPuTTY Portable

Even though it's regarded as a simple virtual space that cannot physically harm you, the Internet is not such a safe place. However, various encryption techniques are used in order to keep data packages secure while they travel from computer to computer. One such application used to safely sent data is MTPuTTY Portable, designed to allow you to simultaneously run more connections.

The application is based on one of the most popular SSH clients, namely PuTTY. One advantage is that you can use it from a removable disk drive as long as you remember to keep the configuration file with you.

Another advantage is that, unlike PuTTY where you have to run a new instance for every connection you establish, this application lets you do the same within a single instance, but only sorting them out in tabs for a better view and management.

In order to connect to a server, you need to fill in a few fields. The proper name must be provided in order to locate the target, a protocol that can be Raw, Telnet, Rlogin, SSH or Serial, port, as well as credentials used to log in to the specific machine. What's more, the application lets you send script packages that run after a successful login, either directly or after a given amount of time.

A side panel provides quick access to servers with an active connection and you can organize it in folders for easier identification. The rest is taken up by your workspace with dedicated tabs for each connection. Scripts can also be sent when everything is set, with the possibility to run the process on multiple servers at once.

To sum it up, MTPuTTY Portable is a small tool which server administrators might be able to put to good use. It can easily be used on the go since this is the portable version, with a well-organized interface that poses no accommodation problems whatsoever. System resources used are of no concern, and the tab view makes it even more practical.
