PuTTY is a software used to make SSH connections to the shared hosting of Hostinger and also with the VPS, and its characteristics such as light weight as well as investment, which is zero for being free, makes this the most essential system
Created to connect remotely via SSH and Telnet protocol, the program was developed by Simon Tathan for the Windows platform but also runs on Linux.
Search software on Google, and you will find PuTTY. The first option is to find the official website of the putty.org software developer, click it.
When you open the link, click the field indicated below, which means “You can download PuTTY here.”
Note that two versions are available, with a 32-bit version and one 64-bit PuTTY Windows installer.
And then find another version, which is only executable within Windows, does not require the installation to be exportable. In this option you can add on a flash drive and use it on any machine.
But in this case we will proceed with the 64-bit installer version. Click the location shown below.
The download will be done automatically or you should select the folder where you want to be added, this will depend on the configuration of your computer.
When the download is complete, with two clicks you will be able to run it to start the installation. Click Next (next).
The next screen refers to the software installation directory. Click to continue.
Here we suggest that you change the pre-installed settings and then select “Will be installed on the local hard drive” to allow a shortcut is added to your home screen.
Click Install and Finish to install and finish. So Putty software will be available to create SSH connections.
