These protocols are all used to run a remote session on a computer, over a network. PuTTY Portable for PC implements the client end of that session: the end at which the session is displayed, rather than the end at which it runs.
In really simple terms: you run PuTTY Portable on a Windows machine and tell it to connect to (for example) a Unix machine. The app opens a window. Then, anything you type into that window is sent straight to the Unix machine, and everything the Unix machine sends back is displayed in the window. So you can work on the Unix machine as if you were sitting at its console, while actually sitting somewhere else.
Main Features
Portability: PuTTY Portable is designed to be lightweight and self-contained, allowing you to carry it on a portable storage device and run it on any Windows computer without the need for installation. This makes it ideal for on-the-go IT professionals or anyone who needs to access remote systems from multiple locations.
SSH and Telnet Support: It primarily supports SSH (Secure Shell) and Telnet protocols, making it a versatile tool for connecting to a wide range of remote systems, including Linux servers, network devices, routers, and switches.
Session Management: Like the regular PuTTY software, it allows you to save and manage multiple connection profiles, including host names, IP addresses, and port numbers. This feature simplifies the process of connecting to frequently accessed remote systems.
Terminal Emulation: It provides a terminal emulator that supports various terminal types and customization options, allowing you to tailor the appearance and behavior of the terminal window to your preferences.
Encryption and Security: It offers strong encryption protocols for secure communication, ensuring that your data is protected during remote sessions. It supports SSH protocol versions 1 and 2, as well as various authentication methods.
Port Forwarding: You can configure port forwarding settings within the tool, allowing you to tunnel specific ports over your SSH connection for secure access to services running on remote servers.
X11 Forwarding: For Linux and Unix systems, it supports X11 forwarding, which allows you to run graphical applications remotely and display them on your local Windows machine.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: While PuTTY Portable itself is designed for Windows, PuTTY itself is available for various platforms, allowing you to connect to remote systems regardless of the operating system they are running.
Open Source: PuTTY and PuTTY Portable are open-source software, which means they are free to use and can be modified and distributed under certain licenses.

What's new in this version:
Major refactoring of Unicode handling to allow the use of 'foreign' Unicode characters, i.e. outside the system's configured default character set / code page. Not yet complete, but the following things work:
- Windows console: usernames and passwords entered interactively into PSCP, PSFTP and Plink can use foreign characters
- Windows command line: usernames, remote commands, and filenames entered via command-line options can use foreign characters
- PuTTY's own terminal (on Windows and Unix): even if it's not configured into UTF-8 mode for the main session, interactive usernames and passwords can use foreign characters
- Unicode version update: all character analysis is updated to Unicode 16.0.0
- Unicode terminal rendering: national and regional flags are now understood by PuTTY's terminal emulator. (However, correct display of those flags will depend on fonts and operating system.
- The Event Log mentions the local address and port number of the outgoing connection socket
- Bracketed paste mode can now be turned off in the Terminal > Features panel
- Unix Pageant: new --foreground mode for running as a subprocess
- Bug fix: the 'border width' configuration option is now honoured even when the window is maximised
- Bug fix: SHA-2 based RSA signatures are now sent with correct zero padding
- Bug fix: terminal wrap mishandling caused occasional incorrect redraws in curses-based applications
- Bug fix: Alt + function key in "Xterm 216+" mode sent a spurious extra escape character
