Anyone interested in a client solution for the SSH, Telnet, Rlogin, and SUPDUP network protocols
About PuTTY
PuTTY is a free implementation of SSH and Telnet for Windows and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet, Rlogin, and SUPDUP network protocols. These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY implements the client end of that session, the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs. In really simple terms, you run PuTTY on a Windows machine, and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine. PuTTY opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine, and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its console, while actually sitting somewhere else. All of PuTTY's settings can be saved in named session profiles. You can also change the default settings that are used for new sessions.

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.

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.

Mac Terminal
When you're connected to multiple servers, the unique background colors and window titles shown in profiles help you easily identify the correct terminal window. Use the built-in profiles in Terminal, or create your own custom profiles. Add markup and bookmarks as you work, then use them to quickly navigate through the vast output in the terminal window. Use the inspector to view and manage active processes, and change window titles and background colors. Use profiles to customize the colors, font, cursor style, background, and other elements of Terminal windows. A profile is a collection of style and behavior settings for a terminal window. Terminal comes with a set of predefined profiles, but it also allows you to create your own custom profiles. Change settings for terminal type (terminfo), input, prompt behavior, and international encodings. Change settings for function keys, the option key, and the alternate display.
