Note that these Putty binaries are not the original ones available from the PuTTY site. These binaries have been compressed with UPX -- The Ultimate Packer for Executables. UPX executable compression is transparant. You don't have to "uncompress" these executables -- simply run them like the original. There is almost no overhead. These are almost half the size of the originals. I use these for installing SSH onto machines with slow connections.

putty Windows SSH client
WinSCP Windows SCP/SFTP client with a graphical Explorer-like interface
pscp Windows command line scp client
psftp Windows command line sftp client
mindterm.jar MindTerm_2.1 (non-commercial). This is the last non-commercial version I have seen. These bastards used to have a cool free version. Now it's gone! Well, you almost can't blame then considering that there is no longer any money in Java. Here is their site: Mindterm SSH Client
