Telnet is a protocol that enables users to establish a two-way connection between two systems, which can exchange messages through the terminal. It can also use SFTP to send files, which is a standard and helpful file transferring protocol. This is an SCP client which is used to copy files across the connection securely. This component is used to gain command-line access to the device that we wish to connect to, much like a terminal open on your very own system. This is the component containing the Telnet, rlogin, raw socket, and SSH client. Knowing these will help you to understand just how much you can do with PuTTY. PuTTY has multiple valuable components that can be used for different purposes. On the right, depending on what category you have chosen, it shows the options that are made available.

There is a panel on the left that shows all the categories and sub-categories available to the user.

No flashy UI components at all, just straight to the point.
