KiTTY will change your life.

No, no, its nothing quite as exciting as "Oh My ZSH"

, but for me (and hopefully other Windows users), it will be just as time saving!

You've all (...I hope...), heard of PuTTy - that wonderful SSH client for Windows. (I know there's a Mac version out there somewhere, but kind of pointless with Terminal or iTerm and all that).

Now...PuTTy is good - but there's a lot of features that it is missing, and that up till now I was WISHING it had. THe main one of course, is file upload. Sure there's pscp, but that should really be bundled with PuTTy AND ISN'T!

How about being able to run a local script, on a remote machine? Running a script on login? Automatic session saving after? Being able to click on hyperlinks, and have them open in your web-browser? A tray icon, with rightclick->open last session sort of stuff? Or maybe pre-defined command shortcuts? Printing highlighted text on the terminal, directly from the program? In

And for the customisers out there, that want everything to look exactly as they want it - there's transparency, and custom background images too! (Though I hate the idea of both...).

Liking the sound of all this? Well then KiTTY - a fork of PuTTY v0.62, can be found here -> http://kitty.9bis.com/

Try it out and tell me what ya think!

I've been using KiTTY at school since the download link to PuTTY was blocked - I didn't know it had file uploading.

Ahahaha! Nice

Yeah apparently it does...although I just realised that you need to have the pscp.exe binary in the same directory for it to work. Kinda sucks but meh. Better than needing to use two programs manually!

Just out of interest, why not just take kitty or putty or whatever on a USB key? Do you have your own drive at school?

At mine, we all have a private folder thats mapped as a network drive to your own account. But it only allows storing of files ending in...well pretty much anything except .exe, .msi, .com, and .bat. Solution? Rename putty.exe to "essay.doc", put in drive. When you want to run it, copy essay.doc to desktop and change to putty.exe

I believe it's also got the PuTTYCyg patch built-in (so you can use it for a terminal on your local Windows computer if you have Cygwin installed). Definitely beats the Windows command prompt

Running a script on login?

You can do that in your .bashrc or .zshrc file, though (and then it applies no matter what you use to connect)

Somewhat similar, mRemoteNG will also change your life (especially if you connect to lots of VNC or Windows RDP servers). It's a tabbed client for VNC, RDP and SSH.

Daniel15! :D

Repeat after me: jQuery is not JavaScript. It is not the answer to every JavaScript-related question. When you have to write some JavaScript, do not instantly react with "Oh, I'll do that with jQuery!"

Spoiler

javascript:alert((''+[][[]])[!+[]+!+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+(''+!+[]/[])[+!+[]]+([![]]+[][[]])[+!+[]+[+[]]]+(''+!![])[+!+[]+!![]+!![]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+(+!+[])+(!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]))
