Tera Term (rare TeraTerm ) is a software-based, free, open-source terminal - emulator . It can emulate various computer terminals from the DEC VT100 to the DEC VT382. Here are Telnet , SSH1 and SSH2 and variants of the serial interface supported. Among other things, a macro script language and other useful auxiliary functions are also integrated.

history

The first version was programmed in 1994 by the Japanese T. Teranishi. At the time, Tera Term was the only free terminal emulator that supported the Japanese language . Development by the original programmers was discontinued in the late 1990s with version 2.3. However, other organizations have moved on, creating great diversity.

In October 2002 Ayera Technologies released Tera Term Pro version 3.1.3, which supports SSH-2 and has several additional functions such as a built-in web server with API for external systems, recurring "life" commands and ODBC database support using TT macro script language. Ayera Technologies not only disclosed the source code, but also provided limited technical support.

In 2004, the Japanese software designer Yutaka Hirata initiated a new development of the open software version Tera Term. He added his own implementation of SSH2 and several new features in addition to the existing version 2.3. A complete overview can be found in the TeraTerm support forum.

In order to avoid version number confusion and to make it clear that the Tera Term developed by Yutaka is more recent than version 3.1.3 from Ayera Technologies, it was decided that the Tera Term Professional version numbers should start with 4.xx.

In January 2005 Boris Maisuradze started a Tera Term Support Forum together with Yutaka Hirata, in which they answer user questions. Posting in this forum is the best way to suggest new program features or new macro commands.

Tera Term has been maintained as open source software by the Tera Term Project (Japanese development team) since 2007 .

The latest Tera Term version is compatible with Windows 95 and subsequent operating systems.

Macro code example

getpassword 'username.dat' 'myusername' username
getpassword 'password.dat' 'mypassword' password

UsernamePrompt = 'Login:'
PasswordPrompt = 'Password:'

inputbox 'Directory path & name followed by ' 'Logging Directory'
; Default directory path for the log files C:\Logs
;loggerpath = 'C:\Logs'
loggerpath = inputstr
strcompare loggerpath ''

if result = 0 then
   loggerpath = 'C:\Logs'
endif

messagebox loggerpath 'logfile'
