Ninjakreborn Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Believe it or not in my entire career I have barely ever touched command line. I am starting to get interested in it. So here is my question. OpenSSH or Putty. Which one should I use as a tool of choice for anything Command Line Related (windows, Linus, Unix)? https://panel.dreamhost.com Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243596-command-line-options/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Really if you want to dive into the command line, Linux / Unix is the way to go. Windows has support, but I find their Command Prompt very limiting (especially the size of it) etc. You can do cygwin with MinTTY for a better console. As far as OpenSSH vs PuTTY, on Windows I would do the cygwin with MinTTY and OpenSSH. I really just cannot stand PuTTY or KiTTY, just annoy me how they handle sessions. Linux, well OpenSSH all the way as most systems come with OpenSSH pre-installed. My 2cents. If you are looking for a Linux Distro, I would suggest a Debian based distro (like CrunchBang).

.josh Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 This is like asking "Which editor is the best?". Bottom line is they all do more or less the same thing, and it boils down to preference, and the only "right" answer is for you to give them a try and pick the one you like or feel most comfortable with.

Ninjakreborn Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 @premiso - thanks for feedback. @Crayon - Thanks...that's what I had figured. At first I thought it was different. Didn't know they all did the same thing, just different features. Since I am use to putty, will stick to it. Thanks again for all feedback.
