PenguiNet is a Telnet, SSH and SCP client for Windows developed by Silicon Circus.

In contrast to PuTTY, PenguiNet is a commercial application. Despite this, it has become increasingly popular since its first release.[citation needed] This is because it is a TDI application and/or to its use of enhanced connection profiles. The latter are organized in a tree structure and let you configure the connections either separately or by applying the settings to the root of the tree, which expands to all of the child items.
