PuTTY is an SSH, Telnet and Rlogin client. It supports the SSH2 protocol. portaPuTTY is a modified version of PuTTY that stores configuration and session data in files instead of the Windows registry.
Note: the project has been dormant since 2007 and may have software vulnerabilities.

This program's clean and works well enough for me.
I would rather use the portableapps.com version
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/putty_portable
The PAc version has been updated to v0.62
V0.60
PortaPuTTY is no longer developed and should no longer be used as security issues (PuTTY 0.62 update, for example) will not be patched.
V0.60
John: agreed, disclaimer added to entry
V0.60
The website is dead (asks to log into google).
This entree should be removed in favor of Putty Portable: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/putty_portable
V0.60
