I haven't used PuTTY in over 10 years and was going to buy it for purely nostalgic reasons. However, I've read your responses to other people and you seem to think $15 is 'nothing' - well, it's not. At $5, it would be reasonable and even a no-brainer. My *Major* issue is that ordinarily you charge $15 for an open-source project. I *do* understand you're providing a 'service' compiling it and then selling it. I can understand a 'convenience fee' for those users who don't want to spend the +/- 40 minutes compiling this on their own systems, as I fail to see any major differences between this app and the most current Homebrew, MacPorts or other repositories where it's completely free. Also it is cool to use Putty as your SSH client if you are doing some Amazon AWS, VMware ESXi or CISCO stuff, transferring files, managing files on a server, or whatever. Although you can use Terminal.app for SSH connections, there are still some benefits to using Putty such as other clients' failure to keep connections live, whereas Putty does. SSH is available by default on Mac, Linux, or Unix. Official versions of Putty are available on Unix-like platforms, and now it's widely available for Mac systems running OS X 10.11 or later. With the help of some other applications, we can use putty on Mac, although Putty is used widely on Windows platform. But what will you do if you are on Mac? You might be wondering if there is any software like Putty available for Mac? The answer is yes! In Windows, it is used as SSH client to connect to your Linux server, or for some other purpose. It supports different types of network protocols such as SSH, FTP, SCP, Telnet, etc.

Putty is one of the best terminal emulators available today.
