A.3.2 Is there a port to Unix?

There are Unix ports of most of the traditional PuTTY tools, and also one entirely new application.

If you look at the source release, you should find a unix subdirectory. You need cmake to build it; see the file README in the source distribution. This should build you:

• Unix ports of PuTTY, Plink, PSCP, and PSFTP, which work pretty much the same as their Windows counterparts;
• Command-line versions of PuTTYgen and Pageant, whose user interface is quite different to the Windows GUI versions;
• pterm - an xterm-type program which supports the same terminal emulation as PuTTY.

If you don't have Gtk, you should still be able to build the command-line tools.
