Here are the PuTTY files themselves:

LEGAL WARNING: Use of PuTTY, PSCP, PSFTP and Plink is illegal in countries where encryption is outlawed. I believe it is legal to use PuTTY, PSCP, PSFTP and Plink in England and many other countries, but I am not a lawyer and so if in doubt you should seek legal advice before downloading it.

Use of the Telnet-only binary (PuTTYtel) is unrestricted by any cryptography laws.

The files we offer below are cryptographically signed. We also supply cryptographically signed lists of MD5 checksums. To download our public keys and find out more about our signature policy, visit the Keys page. If you need a Windows program to compute MD5 checksums, you could try the one at this site (although beware that it is not signed, so if you're really paranoid you still can't be 100% sure!).

Release version 0.51 is not signed, because we introduced the signing procedures after it was released. The next one will be signed.

The latest release version. This will generally be a version I think is reasonably likely to work well. If you have a problem with the release version, it might be worth trying out the latest development snapshot (below) to see if I've already fixed the bug, before reporting it to me.
For Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000 on Intel x86
PuTTY: putty.exe (or by HTTP)
PuTTYtel: puttytel.exe (or by HTTP)
PSCP: pscp.exe (or by HTTP)
Plink: plink.exe (or by HTTP)
Pageant: pageant.exe (or by HTTP)
PuTTYgen: puttygen.exe (or by HTTP)
For Windows NT on Alpha
PuTTY: putty-alpha.exe (or by HTTP)
PuTTYtel: puttytel-alpha.exe (or by HTTP)
PSCP: pscp-alpha.exe (or by HTTP)
Plink: plink-alpha.exe (or by HTTP)
Pageant: pageant-alpha.exe (or by HTTP)
PuTTYgen: puttygen-alpha.exe (or by HTTP)
Source code for all platforms
Source: putty.zip (or by HTTP)

The latest development snapshot. This will be built every day, automatically, from the current development code - in whatever state it's currently in. If you need a fix for a particularly crippling bug, you may well be able to find a fixed PuTTY here well before the fix makes it into the release version above. On the other hand, anything you download from here might randomly fail to work (at best!), and I'm not guaranteed to pay much attention if you report bugs in the snapshots that you haven't already tried to reproduce in the latest release.

Access via CVS

If you want to keep track of the PuTTY development right up to the minute, or view the change logs for each of the files in the source base, you can access the PuTTY master CVS repository directly.

You can access the repository by means of CVS pserver. The CVSROOT variable you need is ":pserver:cvsuser@cvs.tartarus.org:/home/cvs". Password is "anonymous"; check out module "putty". In other words, on a typical Unix CVS setup, you can check out a copy of the PuTTY development code using the commands

cvs -d :pserver:cvsuser@cvs.tartarus.org:/home/cvs login
(enter the password "anonymous" when prompted)
cvs -d :pserver:cvsuser@cvs.tartarus.org:/home/cvs co putty
(PuTTY should now be checked out for you. You will not need to enter the password again.)

Alternatively, you can browse the CVS repository on the WWW, here.

Lars Gunnarson has written a graphical front end for PSCP, in Delphi. You can get it from his web site, at www.i-tree.org.
