Engineers and developers in need of a solution to manage and improve their production environment and communications
About Poderosa
Previously, the Poderosa version 4 series has been released as an open-source SSH client for Windows, but after a major renewal in 2016, the major version was also 5. The new Poderosa is a paid software, not open source, but you can evaluate it until you love Poderosa. Shell is an old but good interface for engineers and computers to communicate, but it is not a field that has never withered, given the goal of attracting engineers in the shell. It is not easy to achieve both ease of use and abundant functions, stylish UI, and support of various platforms, but the new Poderosa aims to be “a good shell operating environment chosen as a good engineer”. We adopt screen split and tab-shape UI which was popular since old Poderosa as it is. Let’s construct shell life in which you use the connection to more than one host properly, edit the configuration file with a seeing log, and so on. You can change the mood in the staging/development environment and production environment.

mRemoteNG
mRemoteNG is a fork of mRemote, an open-source, tabbed, multi-protocol, remote connections manager for Windows. mRemoteNG adds bug fixes and new features to mRemote and allows you to view all of your remote connections in a simple yet powerful tabbed interface. mRemoteNG is open-source software and is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License Version 2. The default interface is very basic in that it will show the most important part to get started with mRemoteNG. mRemoteNG supports themes and keyboard shortcuts. The mRemoteNG shortcuts will work when the interface is in focus but not so often when the remote connection is active. Additional tools that can be used and triggered in mRemoteNG. The SQL feature is in an early beta stage and not intended for use in a production environment! I recommend you do a full backup of your connections and settings before switching to SQL Server.

This is an open-source project and we welcome community participation. Multiple tabs, full Unicode support, and GPU-accelerated text rendering. Full customizability and split panes. Install the Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store. This allows you to always be on the latest version when we release new builds with automatic upgrades. It includes many of the features most frequently requested by the Windows command-line community including support for tabs, rich text, globalization, configurability, theming & styling, and more. The Terminal will also need to meet our goals and measures to ensure it remains fast and efficient.

DropBear
Dropbear is a relatively small SSH server and client. It runs on a variety of Unix platforms. Dropbear is open-source software, distributed under an MIT-style license. Dropbear is particularly useful for "embedded"-type Linux (or other Unix) systems, such as wireless routers. If you want to be notified of new releases, or for general discussion of Dropbear, you can subscribe to the relatively low-volume mailing list. With a small memory footprint suitable for memory-constrained environments, Dropbear can compile to a 110kB statically linked binary with uClibc on x86 (only minimal options selected) Dropbear server implements X11 forwarding and authentication-agent forwarding for OpenSSH clients. The server, client, keygen, and key converter can be compiled into a single binary (like busybox) Features can easily be disabled when compiling to save space. The multi-hop mode uses SSH TCP forwarding to tunnel through multiple SSH hosts in a single command.

Cygwin
Get that Linux feeling on Windows. Cygwin is a large collection of GNU and open-source tools that provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. And a DLL (cygwin1.dll) that provides substantial POSIX API functionality. Cygwin is not a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from the source if you want it to run on Windows. It can't magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX® functionality like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality. The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86_64 versions of Windows, starting with Windows Vista. Use the setup program to perform a fresh install or to update an existing installation. Keep in mind that individual packages in the distribution are updated separately from the DLL so the Cygwin DLL version is not useful as a general Cygwin distribution release number.
