You appear to be confused on what putty is and where the vi editor runs.
Putty is a client to connect to remote servers.
vi is the default editor that might be running in the remote server.
You can install any editor available for the server, and configure that server to have that editor as the default, but you would have to do it for each server you want to connect to it.

kuesvr
KUESVR(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual KUESVR(7)
NAME
kuesvr - the CERN KUIP edit server
SYNOPSIS
kuesvr -p pid -c cmd -t tmpfile [ -e editor ] file
DESCRIPTION
kuesvr is a small program called from KUIP. (KUIP stands for Kit for a User Interface Package; it is part of the Packlib library from
CERN.) kuesvr allows the user to call up an editor from within a KUIP program (PAW, for instance) on the file given by file, and continue
to use the program asynchronously.
In general kuesvr is not called directly from the command line (in Debian it is not even located in the $PATH); instead it will be run
automatically from a KUIP program when an editor is needed, as long as the command line set with KUIP's HOST_EDITOR command ends with an
ampersand ('&'), and $DISPLAY is set. If $DISPLAY is unset (or, on non-Debian systems, if kuesvr cannot be found in $PATH), the ampersand
will be ignored. For instance,
PAW > HOST_EDITOR 'emacs -geometry 80x48 &'
The editor is expected to create its own graphical window. However, since 'vi' is a frequent choice, setting HOST_EDITOR to 'vi &' will
automatically be interpreted as 'x-terminal-emulator -e vi &' instead.
OPTIONS
-c cmd Specifies the KUIP command invoking the edit server.
-e editor
Specifies the editor to be used. By default it is vi. Even though this flag is optional, it will be set anyway when kuesvr is
called from the KUIP library.
-p pid Specifies the process ID of the calling program.
-t tmpfile
Specifies the name of the temporary file used for communication between the calling program and the edit server. This is a Debian
extension added for security reasons. It is a required argument, so this version of kuesvr will not work with a KUIP application
using CERN's unmodified Packlib; nor will CERN's unmodified kuesvr work with the Debian version of Packlib.
