PUTTYMOD(1)

NAME
puttymod - PuTTyMOD, a patched and rebranded PuTTY SSH/Telnet client

SYNOPSIS
puttymod [options] [user@]host

DESCRIPTION
puttymod is a personal fork of putty(1), the free SSH and Telnet client, carrying a set of local usability patches on top of unmodified upstream PuTTY networking/crypto code:

•   a runtime interface translated into 25 languages, chosen from the Design/Language settings panel;

•   a green/red online-offline indicator on every saved session, checked asynchronously against that session's own host and port;

•   one-click colour theme presets (Design/Themes), applied to both the settings dialog chrome and the terminal's own colour scheme;

•   password-protected export/import of saved sessions as .pex files;

•   an optional encrypted auto-login password, stored at rest under $HOME/.putty/.pwkey.

Command-line options, saved-session file format, and the underlying SSH/Telnet/serial protocol support are unchanged from upstream PuTTY; see putty(1) (package putty, if installed) for the full reference, or the Help menu inside the application itself.
