You might be able to get what you want by using Console2 with Putty or Plink

As an alternative SuperPutty has tabs and the option to run the same command across many terminals    might be what someone is looking for   https   code google com p superputty   It imports your PuTTY sessions too

One of alternatives is MSYS2   in another words  MinGW-w64  Git Bash  You can simply ssh to Unix machines and run most of linux commands from it  Also install tmux   To install tmux in MSYS2   run command pacman -S tmux  To run tmux on Git Bash   install MSYS2 and copy tmux exe and msys-event-2-1-6 dll from MSYS2 folder C  msys64 usr bin to your Git Bash directory C  Program Files Git usr bin

Both tmux and GNU Screen work under cygwin  They can be installed from the cygwin installer  Just search for their name there and you probably will get to the latest version  at least for tmux

Look   This is way old  but on the off chance that someone from Google finds this  absolutely the best solution to this -  and it is AWESOME  - is to use ConEmu  or a package that includes and is built on top of ConEmu called cmder  and then either use plink or putty itself to connect to a specific machine  or  even better  set up a development environment as a local VM using Vagrant     This is the only way I can ever see myself developing from a Windows box again   I am confident enough to say that every other answer - while not necessarily bad answers - offer garbage solutions compared to this   Update   As Of 1 8 2020 not all other solutions are garbage - Windows Terminal is getting there and WSL exists

As of the Windows 10  Anniversary  update  Version 1607   you can now run an Ubuntu subsystem from directly inside of Windows by enabling a feature called Developer mode   To enable developer mode  go to Start   Settings then typing  Use developer features  in the search box to find the setting  On the left hand navigation  you will then see a tab titled For developers  From within this tab  you will see a radio box to enable Developer mode   After developer mode is enabled  you will then be able to enable the Linux subsystem feature  To do so  go to Control Panel   Programs   Turn Windows features on or off   and check the box that says Windows Subsystem for Linux  Beta   Now  rather than using Cygwin or a console emulator  you can run tmux through bash on the Ubuntu subsystem directly from Windows through the traditional apt package  sudo apt-get install tmux
