Ctrl-V Terminal is a tabbed SSH, SFTP and VNC client for Windows, built as a modern alternative to MobaXterm and PuTTY.
Its headline feature is image paste: copy an image, focus a terminal and press Ctrl+V, and the file is uploaded to the remote host over SFTP with its path typed at the cursor. That makes it straightforward to hand a screenshot to a tool running on the remote machine.
It also offers persistent sessions over tmux that survive a disconnect, tab colours and tab restore after a restart, an SFTP file browser beside every terminal, VNC sessions in the same tab bar, split panes, search, true colour and configurable colour schemes, and a user interface in ten languages.
Ctrl-V Terminal is commercial software with a free tier. The free tier does not expire and needs no key, but is limited to 3 saved sessions. A perpetual licence removes that limit.
