putty application 
Edit Content
PuTTY is a terminal emulator application which can act as a client for the SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw TCP computing protocols. The name PuTTY has no definitive meaning, though 'tty' is the traditional name for a terminal in the Unix tradition, usually held to be short for teletype.PuTTY was originally written for Microsoft Windows, but it has been ported to various other operating systems. Official ports are available for some Unix-like platforms, with work-in-progress ports to Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X, and unofficial ports have been contributed to platforms such as Symbian powered mobile phones.PuTTY was written and is maintained primarily by Simon Tatham and is currently beta software. Licensed under the MIT License, PuTTY is free and open source software.

Best Terminal Emulator Ever
I have been using Putty for the past 4 years and till date havent come across another terminal emulator which is more light weight, more standards compliant or easy to us than Putty.
There has been some common gripes about tabbed browsing and auto login that is missing in the original version. But there are many more forks of the same client which seem to have addressed most of the mentioned issues (if they are really issues!).
Many in my team prefer VanDyke's SecureCRT, but Putty still remains the best and my personal favourite.
