PuTTY<\/a> is the most popular free SSH client for Windows. It’s very stable and very lightweight, due to the developers keeping bloat out of the source. One piece of bloat that I would like to see is the ability to pick icons, which I find very valuable when working on multiple servers, a common task for most developers. Luckily it’s pretty easy to roll your own PuTTY, so I figured I would offer a little how-to here.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download and install Cygwin<\/a>. I’m not sure which packages you need, as I typically just install everything.<\/li>\n
  2. Download putty source code from here: http:\/\/www.chiark.greenend.org.uk\/~sgtatham\/putty\/download.html<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Open cygwin shell<\/li>\n
  4. cygwin: mkdir putty<\/li>\n
  5. cygwin: cd putty<\/li>\n
  6. cygwin: unzip [wherever download is]\/putty-src.zip<\/li>\n
  7. cygwin: mv WINDOWS\/PUTTY.ICO WINDOWS\/PUTTY_ORIG.ICO<\/li>\n
  8. Now put your icon (.ico) file in WINDOWS and name it PUTTY.ICO<\/li>\n
  9. cygwin: cd WINDOWS<\/li>\n
  10. cygwin: make -f MAKEFILE.CYG putty.exe<\/li>\n
  11. You should now havea nice fresh putty.exe file in the WINDOWS directory, copy this wherever you wish.<\/li>\n
  12. Copy the next icon to PUTTY.ICO and re-run make. Repeat until you have one executable per server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
