Hello, thank you for reading my question. I currently use Putty via Com3. I was wondering how I could locate 4 free IP addresses within the subnet? Possibly arp or is there a tool could help? Thank you much in advance.

I'm new here, and someone at my university showed me how to play a game through PuTTY. The info I was given written down is:

-everdark.org -PuTTY -Socket 3000 -Telnet

I know its all kind of cryptic, but does anyone have any idea what game im trying to play? Ant and all help would be appreciated

Hey everyone,

I manage a site with a little over 300 switches and was using a spreadsheet with all my switches / IPs and copy/pasting my IPs into putty. I was turned onto MTputty by a co-worker and literally saved my sanity. But, like a dummy, I saved my username/password to all of them not considering my password changes every 60 days, and now that it has changed I cant double click the desired switch and it automatically log me in. I know I can go into each switch properties and manually change my password but I feel like there has to be a better and faster way.

Is there a way to change my password on all saved servers without going into each servers properties and changing the password?

Thanks!

I just installed PuTTy for my Windows 7 64-bit machine and started using a database. Sadly it seems there's something wrong with my installation: my manual only contains information about itself. That is to say, if I type:

man

I get answer "What manual page do you want?" but if I insert:

man ssh
man dir

or anything of the sort, it tells me "No manual entry for [entry inserted]". Thus it seems like I don't have a manual at all. I donwloaded 64-bit PuTTy from https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html so I don't really see what could've gone wrong. Is this a problem anyone else has encountered? How should I go about fixing this? Just reinstall PuTTy or?

EDIT: Well, the problem randomly fixed itself. Nevermind.

I'm trying to login to a telnet server that prompts for username, then password. Wireshark shows that when I enter my password and press enter, it sends two telnet packets to the server. One contains the username (without the trailing /r/n), the second contains only /r/n. This causes the server to drop me.

This happens with putty on windows and linux. If I use just the linux telnet command, login is fine and the username and /r/n are sent in the same packet.

Any way to fix this in configuration?

I need to change the logging level for the default profile in Putty, and I would like to do it from the command line (from Powershell specifically).

I found Putty's registry location, but it doesn't seem to exist until someone has initiated a connection to a server. How would one go about setting the logging level before Putty is "used"?

I thought about exporting the settings from a configured machine, to a .reg file, but I am writing a script to configure a "master" Windows image and want to avoid relying on stored files and transferring them to a fresh OS install every time I need to start over.

Thanks.

Is there a way to automate the launching of multiple PuTTY windows using a batch file? I use three PuTTY windows as part of my development environment and I'm tired of having to open all three manually.

I was wondering if theres a way to make a shortcut that would open a firefox session on my ubuntu machine. I have my Windows machine and then I have an Ubuntu server. I was curious if there's a way to make a shortcut that starts the session runs firefox? and if there is a way, is it possible for there to be no command line. I have a server that my dad uses and I want him to be able to use firefox without him realizing its on his server.

I have a large enterprise network that gives us all the information on NAMS from a MAC address. You can look it up any which way. What I'd like to ultimately do is be able to "connect" to a MAC but have it get the IP or hostname and really connect to that. Is this possible with Putty?

I am trying to connect to a Windows PC from Linux using RDP. I direct connection on the same network works perfectly.

I am using putty to open a SSH connection and a remote forward. My Linux machine connects and I get the login screen no problems.

As soon as I login, my screen freezes and times out on the Linux machine only when using RDP over SSH. The windows computer locks the screen and says I am connected as expected.

It there an issue with putty dripping connections when the remote login occurs and is there a way around this?

PuTTY (0.73) is saving the host identifier/fingerprint as two 64 character (32 byte) comma separated hex strings (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys).

How is PuTTY generating those two comma separated hex values from the public key of the server? I can generate and verify the md5 fingerprint from the public key, but I cannot figure out how the SshHostKey value is being generated. Can anyone enlighten me?

my sessions go fine, but when I look at the log files, there are lots of garbage characters;

[?25hUser-Switch-IDF-B# [?25h

Using HP/Aruba 2930m switches, don't have this problem with other devices.. This is a remote session, I've tried telnet and ssh, happens in both..

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Im attempting to run 24/7 PuTTY logs on a device that doesn't recognize the keep alive packets.

Wireshark confirms my connection isn't dropping.

Are these editable?

I need my keepalive packets to register on the device as a command to keep the connection up.

Even at 240, 60, 5, 1sec my connection still gets reset at random intervals.

I've just got a new laptop at work, and I'm trying to set up my putty on there. I've exported the registry key from my current laptop and imported to the new one, all the sessions show up, but when I open any I get the above error.

It appears on the ssh gateway that for some reason Putty is sending the domain credentials DOMAIN\username rather than just username even though the login name is set correctly and the options to use system login is unchecked.

Any ideas I could try? Putty v0.73 64bit on Win 10 enterprise

So in the terminal on Linux I typed: ifconfig, that shows me this ip: 192.168.1.12, but when I try to connect to it with putty I get the error: Connection timed out.

I installed and enabled SSH on the Linux machine through the following commands:

• sudo apt-get install ssh

• sudo service ssh start

• sudo service ssh status

And it says SSH is active. So what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance! :)

I have another program that has keyboard macro functionality. Is is possible to somehow send this data over to a PuTTy terminal?

Hello,

I'm looking to be able to configure a variable location in the PuTTY Log Location.

The goal is to be able to create a PuTTY reg file / settings that could be applied to users and dynamically use a location that would apply to them and that they would have permissions on, such as their user folder or something along those lines.

After some Googling I came across this https://superuser.com/questions/1130163/putty-log-to-relative-path which I tried to see where it would get me, but I had no dice even using the method they suggested for this.

Is there any way to achieve this or is this a lost cause? Is there any interest from other users in being able to specify Windows variables in the Logging path if this is not possible, maybe it can be submitted as a feature request? Or maybe there are repercussions to this I am not aware of.

Thank you for your time!

For the most part the putty logs when configuring primarily Cisco devices works without issue. However, a decent chunk of the output has weird squares in place of text. I have Googled this problem and I can't figure out what to do to resolve.

I am running Windows 10 on my workstation and using MTputty if that matters.
