"Telnet" and "SSH" are types of terminal session (also called "terminal emulation") programs that allow users to conduct interactive sessions with computers elsewhere on the Internet by providing a character-based (i.e., non-graphical) connection. Examples of telnet/ssh programs are TeraTerm (for Windows) and BetterTelnet (for Macintosh).
PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator.

Hint: PuTTY is not available for Unix platforms. It is usually not needed there as SSH, telnet, sftp and the likes are all installed by default on Unix / Linux machines.
