Putty for Mac version 9.0 status update

We are now working on version 9.0 of Putty for Mac and have once again made significant progress the last couple of weeks. Now GTK accelerator buttons are working properly (Paste, New Window and Quit). We will once again sync to latest putty git sources for the pending release. We continue to test pageant, puttygen and plink to be sure that everything is working 100% correctly and as expected. Version 9.0 should be released in the next couple months, until then here is some screenshots.

Putty for Mac 8.5.0 has been released

Wine Reviews released Putty for Mac 8.5.0 for MacOS today. Putty 8.5.0 is another major release,  we have added copy and paste support as well as made a large number of changes to the context menu. Please see the full change-log below for all the exciting changes in this release.

Putty is one of the Best Terminal Emulators available today. It Supports different types of Network Protocols such as SSH, FTP, SCP, Telnet etc. In Windows it is used as SSH Client to connect to Your Linux server or for some other purpose But what will you do if you are on Mac? You might be thinking , Is there any Software like Putty for Mac Available? The answer is Yes! With the help of some other Software’s we can Use putty on MacOS although Putty is used widely on Windows Platform. Official Versions of Putty are available on Unix like Platforms, and now it’s widely available for Mac systems running OSX 10.9.5 or higher.

SSH is available by default in Mac and Linux or Unix. Although you can use terminal for SSH connections still there are some benefits in using Putty such as Other clients don’t keep connections alive whereas Putty does. Also it is cool to use Putty as your SSH client if you are doing some VMware ESXi or CISCO Stuffs, transferring files, managing files on a server or whatever.

The cost of Putty 8.5.0 is only $15.00. Anyone who has purchased Putty in the past three months is entitled to a free upgrade. Putty comes with three months of upgrades and of course a 14-day money back guarantee.

Supported Protocols:

• Telnet
• FTP
• SSH
• SCP

About Wine Reviews:

There is a multitude of software developed only for the Windows operating system and even when software vendors port their applications to another platform, generally it lacks features that the Windows version contains. The only solution these developers face is to have access to both systems for testing which leads to increased infrastructure demands, and wasted project resources. Our goal is to have native ports of essential Windows tools and applications made available for MacOS users.

Version 8.5.0 New Features:

• Synced to latest Putty .70 Git Code
• CTRL+Righ Mouse click context menu fixes
• Added Copy and Paste to context menu Workaround for context menu not selecting on first load. Little oddity is that you have to move the mouse pointer outside the context area then back to be able to select.
• Added End Session to Context Menu
• Right click on mouse now pastes whatever is on the clipboard, like putty on windows.
• Fixes on end session code crashing from context menu
• Various other back-end fixes.

We now use FastSpring as our preferred storefront, you can pay with Credit / Debit Cards, PayPal, Amazon payments, Wire Transfer etc. etc. This store is very secure, simple and fast.

Connecting to a ESX or ESXi host with Putty on MacOS

Many necessary administrative functions on ESXi requires SSH access. For example, offline bundles, third party management utilities, backup utilities, and many other tasks require you to log in to the ESXi console, via SSH or physically. This post will guide you through the process of enabling the SSH service, and opening up the firewall to allow access. This process works on all versions of ESXi, including the newer versions such as 5, 5.5, and 6. Lets get started.

Enabling SSH on an ESXi host

There are two steps involved in getting SSH access set up on an ESXi host.

• Enabling the SSH service
• Opening port 22 (SSH port) on the firewall

First, log into the VMware vSphere Client. You can login directory to the host, or to a vSphere server, it doesn’t matter. Select the host, then navigate to Configuration > Security Profile, once you are there, click on the Properties option to the right of Services.

You can now open up Putty for Mac, and connect using the same credentials you use to connect to the vSphere Client.

Audacious began as a fork of Beep Media Player, which itself is a fork of XMMS. William "nenolod" Pitcock decided to fork Beep Media Player after the original development team announced that they were stopping development in order to create a next-generation version called BMPx. According to the Audacious home page, Pitcock and others "had [their] own ideas about how a player should be designed, which [they] wanted to try in a production environment."

Since version 2.1, Audacious includes both the Winamp-like interface known from previous versions and a new, GTK+-based interface known as GTKUI, which resembles foobar2000 to some extent. GTKUI became the default interface in Audacious 2.4.

The cost of Audacious 1.0.0 is only $15.00. Audacious comes with three months of upgrades and of course a 14-day money back guarantee.

Putty for Mac 7.5 has been released

Wine Reviews released Putty for Mac 7.5.0 for MacOS today. Putty 7.5.0 is another major release,  we have added SSH Authorization / Authentication SSH Tunneling support to this release. Please see the full change-log below for all the exciting changes in this release.

Putty is one of the Best Terminal Emulators available today. It Supports different types of Network Protocols such as SSH, FTP, SCP, Telnet etc. In Windows it is used as SSH Client to connect to Your Linux server or for some other purpose But what will you do if you are on Mac? You might be thinking , Is there any Software like Putty for Mac Available? The answer is Yes! With the help of some other Software’s we can Use putty on MacOS although Putty is used widely on Windows Platform. Official Versions of Putty are available on Unix like Platforms, and now it’s widely available for Mac systems running OSX 10.9.5 or higher.

SSH is available by default in Mac and Linux or Unix. Although you can use terminal for SSH connections still there are some benefits in using Putty such as Other clients don’t keep connections alive whereas Putty does. Also it is cool to use Putty as your SSH client if you are doing some CISCO Stuffs, transferring files, managing files on a server or whatever.

The cost of Putty 7.5.0 is still only $15.00. Anyone who has purchased Putty in the past three months is entitled to a free upgrade. Putty comes with three months of upgrades and of course a 14-day money back guarantee.

Supported Protocols:

• Telnet
• FTP
• SSH
• SCP

About Wine Reviews:
 
There is a multitude of software developed only for the Windows operating system and even when software vendors port their applications to another platform, generally it lacks features that the Windows version contains. The only solution these developers face is to have access to both systems for testing which leads to increased infrastructure demands, and wasted project resources. Our goal is to have native ports of essential Windows tools and applications made available for MacOS users.

Version 7.5.0 New Features:

• Added a installer so you can configure the installation location 
• Pterm is now supported on MacOS 10.12
• Fixed a large number of icon rendering bugs 
• Cleaned up theme support a little 
• Fixed a couple dynamic lib linking bugs 
• Fixed a crash in Browse 
• Fixed the SSH drop down menu 
• Preliminary support for SSH private key Authorization / Authentication 
• Preliminary support for SSH Tunneling 
• Other small random bug fixes

We now use FastSpring as our preferred storefront, you can pay with Credit / Debit Cards, PayPal, Amazon payments, Wire Transfer etc. etc. This store is very secure, simple and fast.

Screen Shots :

Purchase Putty 8.7.0 now and have Telnet SSH FTP SCP on your Mac made easy!

Putty for Mac volume discounts now available

We have had a couple large organizations ask us about volume discounts for Putty over the past couple of weeks. So as of today we have implemented volume discounts in our store on FastSpring. Volume discounts start at 5 licensees and go up to 100 the discount increases in tiers.

 

Putty for Mac 7.5 is now available in the store, we are doing a soft release over multiple sites at this time. A release post with the full change-log will be posted here on Monday April 3rd 2017.
