I need to log into a Linux server from a Windows PC. So far I used Putty but I don't like typing ls and CD all the time. Is there a gui alternative?

What is it you're trying to do? Fully administer the Linux server, or just move files around? – bgvaughan Oct 4 '11 at 23:01
My downvote will become an upvote if you re-phrase the question to something like "What GUIs let me work with a remote file system over ssh?" - To which the answer has been supplied by MaQleod – Doc Oct 4 '11 at 23:50
I need to move files around, view logs, execute scripts. The answers are sufficient. I changed the wording. – dima.chornyi Oct 5 '11 at 16:43

Try WinSCP, it may meet your needs, depending on what you actually want to do. You can graphically browse the file system and you can open shell windows to run commands as well.

Midnight Commander mc gives you a TUI. You can run that after logging in with Putty.

Midnight Commander

(Note: the above isn't using Putty but shows what mc should look like in Putty)

Wow... Looks a lot like Norton Commander. – BillP3rd Oct 5 '11 at 2:45
