  1. PUTTY

  2. WHAT IS IT?? Putty is a free SSH client for windows. The users for this application will probably have a fair amount of computing experience.

  3. The Good Upon opening pUTTY, immediately can connect to saved session or a non saved host Multiple instances of pUTTY can be opened at the same time allowing for multiple connections to different machines

  4. The Good Versus Can see more specific categories quickly -> good for helping short term memories Saves a click -> Shortcuts for more experienced Users Not appropriate for all programs

  5. The BAD (Just getting Started) No other languages Can’t resize window Cancel here means Quit Open?? Bad terminology, perhaps “log in” or “connect” No built in documentation

  6. The BAD (Continued…) What is this?? No label Loads saved settings, does not actually connect Where will this take me??? All three always Active (never grayed) -you can save sessions with no Host Name

  7. The BAD (oh yes, there’s more….) ???????? Once the open button is pushed there is no turning back…. Even if the Host Name does not exist If you do successfully connect. Once you close the terminal window putty is gone. You will have to re-open the application.

  8. The Summary Good for experienced users that have a simple task that they need to get done quickly and often Bad for users that are inexperienced with the workings of SSH’ing or for users that have a multitude of different connections they need to keep track of.
