Hey smart freeware finding people,

Does anyone know of an ssh client like PuTTY (for windows) that will
tab multiple sessions (like most Linux terminal emulators)?

SecureCRT can, but its $100...

Cheers,

I haven't found one yet :(

So recently I started using the unix command screen. It allows you to
have multiple ssh sessions in the one window and you switch between them
using CTRL a or CTRL n. It seems to work well and if your windows box
crashes or the network goes down you can simply reattach to the session
later on, a little bit like nohup on Solaris.

If you're already happy with putty itself, give WinTabber a try, it's
designed to grab the window of any running application and include it in
its own set of tabs - my explanation will probably make more sense if
you have a look at a screenshot...

It's free(beta)ware at the moment, don't know whether they have future
plans for it but as it stands at the moment it seems to do the job :)
Has a few interesting quirks for me but no major problems.

Oops, that'll teach me to post while I'm still investigating - just came
across this project which is based off an older commercial client which
went open source...

"Welcome to Poderosa.org. Poderosa is a powerful, open-source, SSH2
compliant, Tab style GUI terminal emulator for Windows."

Haven't tried it yet, but as I usually end up with at least 5 putty
sessions open at one time, I'll definitely be giving it a go.

Only potential downside is that it requires .NET framework, if you're
one of those people who doesn't like the idea...

HTH (Again!)

I was going to mention "screen". Nifty utility.
