PuttyMan Description
PuttyMan has been designed as a simple graphical interface for PuTTY client but it is more than just that as the options it integrates can expand productivity.
No install, straightforward interface
The application does not need to be installed and by just extracting the contents of the archive and double-clicking the executable file launches the application.
The interface is not complicated and provides just the basic functions in plain view. You can easily connect to a host temporarily through the SSH or Telnet protocol as well as store the connections for later use.
Functionality
One of the benefits PuttyMan brings to the table is the possibility to have multiple terminal windows opened at the same time. The application runs them in different tabs and allows switching to any of them with a click of the mouse.
Moreover, the flexibility of the program goes as far as initiating all the stored connections at the same time and allowing a command to be sent to all opened connections. The function is available at the top of the application window.
Another nifty feature is support for storing frequently used UNIX scripts for running them quickly and with little effort.
Configuration options
Customizing the application does not entail too much tinkering because there are few options to work with.
Apart from providing the paths for PuTTY and Plink PuttyMan provides the possibility to change the color scheme.
There are multiple choices available and each of them can be previewed in real time so that you get to pick the one with the background and text color that best fits your needs.
Conclusion
Basically, what PuttyMan proposes is an improved PuTTY client that offers access to multiple terminal windows and allows sending the same command to all of them at once.
However, during our testing we noticed that sometimes the application hangs for a while when using the multi command sender function.
