The process spcplink.exe, described as Command-line SSH, Telnet, and Rlogin client, is a process file from company Simon Tatham that belongs to software puTTY Suite. This application is free and open source terminal emulator that can act as a client for SSH, Telnet, Rlogin, and raw TCP computing protocols, or as a serial console client. The protocols are used to run a remote session on the computer over a network, while puTTY implements the client end of that session, which is the end at which the session is displayed. The application involves host key checking, which is the guarantee that the encryption that the user puts on the data at the client end is the dame encryption taken off the data at the server end. PuTTY emulates most xterm, VT102 control sequences, and much of ECMA-48 terminal emulation. Some of the features of this application are support for local serial port connection and a public-key authentication support. PuTTY has been ported to other operating systems although it was originally written for Microsoft Windows.
