These protocols get used to securely run remote sessions between computers over an unsecured network, essentially allowing one computer to control another. PuTTY is a popular client-side program available for Windows, macOS, Unix, and Unix-like systems such as Linux that is designed for use with the SSH, Rlogin, and Telnet network protocols.
