2/1/2024 0 Comments Putty for mac os sierra![]() VERY useful for those of us that need to log in to Unix systems. I'll leave you with this - WINE Is Not (an) Emulator and you mighr want to change your DBA from WINE to WHINE. Simon, who wrote PuTTY for Windows (ported FROM *nix) 18 years ago is still at version 0.70, still maintaining it (for free) because he's a good guy. Thanks, however, to your replies to others, I'd rather spend the extra half hour compiling it on MY 10.13 system. I haven't used PuTTY in over 10 years and was going to buy it for purely nostalgic reasons. ![]() However, I've read your responses to other people and you seem to think $15 is "nothing" - well, it's not. At $5, it would be reasonable and even a no-brainer. My *Major* issue is that ordinarily you charge $15 for an open-source project. I *do* understand you're providing a "service" compiling it and then selling it. I can understand a "convenience fee" for those users who don't want to spend the +/- 40 minutes compiling this on their own systems, as I fail to see any major differences between this app and the most current Homebrew, MacPorts or other repositories where it's completely free. Also it is cool to use Putty as your SSH client if you are doing some Amazon AWS, VMware ESXi or CISCO stuff, transferring files, managing files on a server, or whatever. Although you can use Terminal.app for SSH connections, there are still some benefits to using Putty such as other clients' failure to keep connections live, whereas Putty does. SSH is available by default on Mac, Linux, or Unix. Official versions of Putty are available on Unix-like platforms, and now it's widely available for Mac systems running OS X 10.11 or later. With the help of some other applications, we can use putty on Mac, although Putty is used widely on Windows platform. But what will you do if you are on Mac? You might be wondering if there is any software like Putty available for Mac? The answer is yes! In Windows, it is used as SSH client to connect to your Linux server, or for some other purpose. It supports different types of network protocols such as SSH, FTP, SCP, Telnet, etc. I'm quite disappointed with this engineering decision, but even more so, the fact they haven't corrected what I along with most other people on this thread think is an obnoxious interference into how experienced developers work.Putty is one of the best terminal emulators available today. In fact, I've also signed up for a small corporate plan on GitHub and have moved most of my new work there instead of BitBucket, so that I can more effectively use GitHub Desktop or their GUI for Pull Request management, something prompted largely due to this irritation. But to be honest, until they restore an ability for me to use MY OWN NAMING CONVENTION for the dozens of ssh keys I have to deal with, I have no interest in giving them another chance. Good to know symlinks work, should I ever decide to give these guys a chance again. That's the reason I haven't come back here since my original post, until getting another message today from this thread and getting curious. There should be a way to specify the location of an existing ssh key!Īnother option, and the one I chose, is to switch to Github Desktop, as I really don't like a software vendor who breaks existing, widely-expected intuitive behavior without warning, and then ignores customer complaints about it for months. Not letting me use my existing ssh key is a recipe for losing me as a customer - I don't like being forced to change the way I work. Why can't I use the ssh key which I want to use? Why isn't this finding my default ssh key like all other programs I have which use ssh, including earlier versions of SourceTree. Now, I see no way to specify this key, it's not being found despite being in the normal location on Mac/Linux systems, and it seems the only way to use ssh is to generate a new ssh key - WHICH I DO NOT WANT TO DO. I used to be able to use this with SourceTree. Now, I get a message "no key found", despite the fact I have ~/.ssh/id_rsa defined, it's in my agent and Apple keychain, and I can use this fine everywhere else. Before, I could pick one of my ssh keys (I have dozens, but mainly use one for work and another for personal Git repos) during setup. It seems there is some change to how the setup and configuration of SSH keys work. I'm on a new project where I have to collaborate with some people on Windows and suggested they use SourceTree, and wanted to re-install SourceTree on my macs so I could help them learn this by demonstration, as I have used this from time to time in the past. I normally use the command line git client to work with GitHub or BitBucket. I just rebuilt my laptop and iMac with clean installs of MacOS Sierra.
