There are numerous reasons why this program deserves more than just 5 stars.

1. free
2. open source
3. small
4. easy to use
5. crazy effective

the list goes on. i could not imagine administering to my Cisco equipment without this tool in the box.

SecureCRT doesn't come close to Putty, Putty is much faster, try
time cat /var/log/somebiglog
and look at "user time"...
Putty is almost 2 times faster on 1Mb link, no metter of compression settings.
Home and End keys works correctly by default, unlike in SecureCRT.
The same with line wrapping.
Putty wins hands down, and its free.

Have to agree on the registry thing. Had to reinstall my PC just recently and lost all of my settings. Not cool, otherwise my SSH client of choice.

Putty is awesome, but it loses 1 star for not being able to save in a local .ini file vs registry

Download "portaPuTTY" instead!

Another problem with this listing, it says freeware instead of open source.

Commercial SSH clients just can't compete with this.
