As the user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for PuTTY or KiTTY, WinSSHTerm facilitates the management of many SSH sessions at once. It also offers extra functionality like file transfers and X applications. 

Using an SSH client is necessary if you frequently need to connect to remote computers. Additionally, two of the most popular and potent SSH clients that can assist you in connecting to a remote PC are PuTTY and KiTTY.

They have some good features, but their biggest drawback is that they're not user-friendly and don't let you manage several sessions. 

You will be able to fix the main problems with those two platforms with WinSSHTerm. If you want to utilize PuTTY and KiTTY, this tool simplifies things for you because it is lightweight. 

It serves as an interface between these two SSH clients so that you can open several sessions at once and manage them with an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). 

Simple to Set Up and Operate

It needs to be installed before you can use it, as it serves as the frontend program for PuTTY and KiTTY. You must ensure that the two frameworks are prepared for usage before installing them. 

The best part about this tool, though, is that if you haven't installed them yet, it will download them for you automatically. 

This app features a simple UI. It is designed for those who are more beginner-focused and desire to accomplish as much as they can. There's also a tiny amount of UI modification available. 

You can choose to automatically install WinSCP and X-Server in addition to PuTTY and KiTTY, which will make things much simpler once you start using the tool. 

Extra Features for a Better Experience

As already indicated, the two frameworks for remote connections do lack several crucial capabilities. The capacity to connect to numerous computers at once and handle multiple sessions is one of them. 

You can switch between sessions with WinSSHTerm by simply clicking on a button or by setting up shortcuts that you can choose before using the program. 

Additionally, you can open more than one session in a single window. It's not the finest feature if you have a little screen, but it does make it easy to monitor the session from just one screen. 

It will assist you in better managing the sessions and in opening many sessions so that you can manage them concurrently and do more tasks in the same amount of time as before.
