Making PuTTY Without Glue: A Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

PuTTY is a popular free and open-source terminal emulator that allows users to connect to remote servers and access their files remotely. While traditional methods of installing and configuring PuTTY require physical glue, we can make a DIY version without any glue.
