How can I develop a program using PuTTY and ssh?
PuTTY allows Windows users to connect to remote systems over the Internet via Telnet and SSH. PuTTY uses a Command Line Interface or CLI to allow the user to enter commands to tell the computer what to do. To see how the CLI looks and works follow this link to PuTTY FAQ. SSH is an Internet standard, supported by many computers that also support Telnet. While both Telnet and SSH allow you to connect to remote systems, SSH, supported in PuTTY, provides for a “Secure Shell”, encrypting information before it is transferred. This way, it is harder for others to intercept passwords and other private information than if you were to just use Telnet. While using PuTTY and the CLI you may use editors such as nano and emacs through PuTTY in the same fashion you would as if you were in the lab. Once you have opened a remote session with PuTTY, you may start any application you wish.
