Metro PuTTY is the well-known but well-known PuTTY client program that allows users to create SSH-2 links from their Windows PCs, bringing almost all program features to the Windows 8.1 home screen.
Its features include options so you can use PuTTY for fast private key authentication, full or adjustable screen size support, UTF-8 compatibility, support for storage of one-line settings and on-screen keyboard.
In the description of the application we read: “Metro PuTTY is one version της δημοφιλούς desktop εφαρμογής PuTTY. Σας επιτρέπει να δημιουργήσετε SSH-2 συνδέσεις σε οποιαδήποτε device που δέχετε SSH-2 και έχει πολλά από τα ίδια χαρακτηριστικά όπως το PuTTY. Σας επιτρέπει να αποθηκεύσετε τις ρυθμίσεις μίας σύνδεσης οι οποίες συγχρονίζονται με το λογαριασμό σας στην Microsoft and supports key authentication".
The app is not available for free, but for a fee of $ 3.99 (€ 2.10), and for free you can only download a trial version of the PuTTY Metro for Windows 8.1 to test some of its features.
This news has made us impression and we are adding it together as well PuTTY is a totally free application and for Windows and for Linux. You can easily download it from here.
What we did not understand is where things are going with the Metro applications, which are usually inferior to the normal desktop respective applications and while they should all be completely free (which they are not) they have started charging those that are in desktop format free of charge (like PuTTY). Are Metro apps aimed at naive and bored users?
