[EDIT 11-8-25] github link to my latest Session Manager revision updated below.
Maybe this should go in in the freeware room. "TeraTerm is a professional grade SSH client (also does Telnet) but it does not have a built-in session manager which makes it kind of lame. Still it is a very respectable product, especially if you take into account it is free on github.
https://teratermproject.github.io/index-en.html

So I decided to create a session manager for TeraTerm and I think it turned out quite nicely and it is also available for free. Be sure you get the latest version (now 2.7).

That's the link to find it -- click the 'View raw' link when you get there to download.
Couple useful links if you need macros:
https://teratermproject.github.io/manual/4/en/macro/
https://teratermproject.github.io/manua ... index.html
Documentation really leaves much to be desired.
Hope this is helpful to someone.

Interesting. I gotta check that out

Hi GeoTrail... You look like a Cereal killer too. Be sure to get my latest revision -- #4. It allows only one instance and renders cleaner display of optional .ttl macro files.

This was the first occasion I found a use for #PB_Any in gadget creations. The ttl filenames are loaded and displayed below the "Pick your Macro file" line using #PB_Any because that was the easiest way to generate an unknown number of OptionGadgets. Of course if you have no ttl macro files the area below Pick your macro file will remain blank.
This is what it looks like:

PuTTY

But you can also use the OS inbuild ssh and scp.
Like curl it is included in windows.

Very Lame, Designed to trash the registry. No reason or need for that. Granted it is a Very capable client. It's just lame.

Oh really ? Any further arguments ? Putty has been used (and still is, including me) by a lot of people. If it was that lame, i guess nobody would use it.
And my registry still works fine

Really? And a large portion of it dedicated to PuTTY sessions, RIGHT?!! Sorry but in my book that is just lame. Very lousy code design.

Well, if you say so...

If you're interested, I've revised the manager to include a [?] help button to provide useful operating tips. Link to the latest revision (ver2.5):
https://github.com/Randywfl/TeraTerm-SS ... M(2.5).exe

Newly revised SSHTTSM app -- just one little fix, and also available in both 32 or 64 bit.
https://github.com/Randywfl/TeraTerm-SS ... M(2.6).exe

Newly revised again... One significant fix -- not finding macro file when connection is launched.
Added ability to enable disable the clipboard operation when connection is launched.
https://github.com/Randywfl/TeraTerm-SS ... .7)x64.exe

Happy to announce SSHTTSM(3.0)x64.exe Now available:
https://github.com/Randywfl/TeraTerm-SS ... .0)x64.exe
backward compatible with earlier releases, but now you can add full credentials to your sessions.

I considered that but far as I could determine it doesn't offer customization like Tera Term (or even PuTTY). Nice of MS to throw those in though. Too little, too late.
