Putty is my favorite tool for managing SSH connections. It is originally only for windows and is ported to Mac. It is not easy to install it on Mac.

I documented the steps for it to work for me and hope it will help others.

First, need to install XCode Command Line Tools, Apple ID login is required to get the package.

The second dependency is install MacPorts.

The installation process can now begin: 


sudo port install putty

I run into this error when trying to run it: 


% putty




(putty:32155): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:00:31.848: cannot open display:?

Apparently, a X server for display is needed. You can get it here. It forces you to logoff and login, so save your work first.

Now, the beautiful Putty window will show:

The command below can be used to add a shortcut in your desktop: 


% cp /opt/local/bin/putty ~/Desktop/PuTTY


Happy puttying!
