A.3 Ports to other operating systems
The eventual goal is for PuTTY to be a multi-platform program, able to run on at least Windows, Mac OS and Unix.
Porting will become easier once PuTTY has a generalised porting layer, drawing a clear line between platform-dependent and platform-independent code. The general intention was for this porting layer to evolve naturally as part of the process of doing the first port; a Unix port has now been released and the plan seems to be working so far.
- A.3.1 What ports of PuTTY exist?
- A.3.2 Is there a port to Unix?
- A.3.3 What's the point of the Unix port? Unix has OpenSSH.
- A.3.4 Will there be a port to Windows CE or PocketPC?
- A.3.5 Is there a port to Windows 3.1?
- A.3.6 Will there be a port to the Mac?
- A.3.7 Will there be a port to EPOC?
- A.3.8 Will there be a port to the iPhone?
