However, these applications are not particularly intuitive, and they lack certain useful features, such as the ability to easily manage multiple sessions.WinSSHTerm is a lightweight program designed to function as a user-friendly interface for both PuTTY and KiTTY. It allows you to open sessions in multiple tabs and provides you with an intuitive GUI, while also supporting X applications and file transfers.

Aside from PuTTY or KiTTY, you also have the option of installing WinSCP and X-Server.
Handy utility that can help you work more efficiently
Once everything has been set up, you can launch WinSSHTerm and take advantage of the new features placed at your disposal. The application allows you to manage sessions and navigate between tabs using simple keyboard shortcuts, and all your connections can be organized into folders.It is even possible to open multiple sessions in a single window, making it much easier to monitor several connections at the same time.Moreover, if the required software is available, you can perform file transfers and run X applications.
Lightweight application that features a minimalistic UI
The user interface features a simplistic design meant to minimize eye strain, and it even supports a small degree of customization.Overall, WinSSHTerm is an easy-to-use program that provides you with a more accessible PuTTY and KiTTY interface.
