tabbed SSH tool for windows?

Question

I have a macintosh at home and I can do an ssh through macintosh tools and then open up tabs for multiple connections. I have used putty and the free version of SSH Secure Shell. Are there any free SSH tools for windows that allow me to open new connections with tabs instead of a new window?

Answer 1

Poderosa is pretty much putty with tabs.

Features:

Tabbed style GUI It is convenient to open multiple connections at the same time. Moreover, you can split the window into panes and allocate each connection. Many different ways to connect. In addition to Telnet and SSH1/2, local cygwin shell and serial ports are supported.

Fulfilling options and tools A lot of terminal functions are available. Examples are: SSH2 port forwarding, SSH Key generation wizard, and SOCKS connections.

Plugin architecture You can extend the feature of Poderosa by plug-ins, like Eclipse does. Connections via serial ports and X/ZModem-support are provided as additional plug-ins. A manual for plug-in developers is included the installation package.

Government support In 2005, the Japanese government selected our innovative software project and provided financial resources to support it.
