I am using WinSCP instead of butty.

It uses Secure Shell (SSH) to Secure FTP.

This tool has changed my life

Putty is a great tool for SSH. once you get the commands down, it makes managing servers a breeze. No guis to load, no waiting.

Plus lots of good features with SSH that let you do advanced web hosting stuff.

Bert – feel free to submit your work, or apply for a position here to help “improve” our content.

Everyone else – I’ve always used multiple shells without issue, but have never saved a session, a very cool idea to help do things effectively.

It is amazing the things that people have done over SSH ports and tunneling. Thanks to everyone else that has commented so far.

Tip 1: Use ’screen’ – Andrew already pointed this out.
Tip 2: Create keys and make your logins password-less.
Tip 3: Use Konqueror to connect to other Linux systems using SSH

The one tip I would give is install (if it isn't there already) screen on your server. One big benefit is that it allows you to have multiple shells running, and rotate between them. So for example, while you are waiting for some software to download in one shell, you can switch to another and continue hacking away at some code. Another benefit is that all the shells you have open can be saved when you log out, and resumed when you log in next. So when you are working on a bad connection, or if you have few different shells on the go and want to pick it all up later, it is super useful.

Although I’m by no means an expert, I love SSH-ing into our servers. It’s powerful, and sometimes is the only way to get a job done “cleanly”- if that makes any sense. I’m on a Mac so I always use Terminal.

Dude, your posts get more pointless everytime I read one. Why don’t you push out less posts of higher quality? This is just useless content in an otherwise nice and interesting web site.
