ExtraPuTTY software utility is a fork of PuTTY that keeps all of its features and adds new ones. It only works on the Windows platform. This software executes pre-defined commands to speed up routine work and can run sequences of commands automatically. It can automate login with Lua scripts. This makes the entry into the system more user-friendly and much simpler. Timestamps and a status bar help you keep track of what happens in each session.

  • allows LUA scripting sessions
  • command sequencing 
  • DLL front-end 
  • FTP, SCP, TFTP file transfer protocol integrated
  • integrates PuTTY's session manager
  • TestStand API for LabWindows and TestStand
  • portable (uses directory structure)

  • status bar and menu inside PuTTY window

It adds Lua scripting, command sequencing and built-in file transfer protocols to the familiar PuTTY terminal.

ExtraPuTTY for Windows builds file transfers directly into the terminal, so files can be sent over SSH, serial or Telnet connections without a separate client. It works hand-in-hand with PuTTY while it allows all the above additional features. It is a handy tool for Telnet, SSH and serial connections. The program is free; the last release, based on PuTTY 0.67, dates from 2016.
