How do I run PuTTY on Mac OS X?

I would like to run PuTTY on Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. Has it been released in dmg/hqx/bin format?

To prevent useless threads, let me say that:

1. I already tried "sudo port install putty" and after loading many prerequisites, it finally spews out when trying to install gtk1:

checking for X... no

configure: error:

*** X libraries or include files not found. Check 'config.log' for

*** more details.

2. I don't want to use the built-in Terminal application because it is not GUI-friendly. I am looking for an application that will automatically open an SSH window with the colors and fonts I want, log me in with my username and my secret key, just by clicking an icon.

Any idea?

Thank you,

Fabrice

I solved it myself. For the record, the two key things were to:

1) Set the Screen Sharing to have a shared password

2) Use TightVNC on the Windows side. Other VNC programs barf at the protocol negotiation

Cheers!

  • I think a GUI like putty's for Mac OS X will be hard to come by. I recommend making an alias for the entire ssh command google how to make an alias in a bash shell to find the steps required.
