PuTTY and WinSCP

Secure Connection To Host "Replacement for Telnet"

According to PuTTY's website, PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet and Rlogin network protocols. These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY implements the client end of that session: the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs. In really simple terms: you run PuTTY on a Windows machine, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine. PuTTY opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine, and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its console, while actually sitting somewhere else.
WinSCP is open source software for SFTP (Secure FTP) and SCP (Secure Copy Protocol). The main use of this software is secure file transfers between two computers.
