Putty is a combined terminal window and SSH client, so it is only needed in Windows. In Linux, you use one of the existing Terminal windows (which seem to be more versatile than the command com or cmd exe windows of Windows) and a text-based SSH client. In DOS, you would use sshdos and ssh2dos, which are for two different versions of the SSH protocol. Yet, both are too old and no longer connect with common SSH server configurations! Both are text based apps. A while ago, I tried to compile a custom secure protocol library for a project in Linux and I can tell you that those things unfortunately have a larger number of dependencies than the should... A starting point for finding something lightweight and feasible to port to DOS might be this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_cryptography_libraries However, that is probably more useful when you want to add HTTPS support to a DOS browser and less when you want to upgrade SSH2DOS, but I am no expert in those things.
