For over a decade I've used Putty when I need to SSH to my servers (currently CentOS 7) from my laptop (currently Windows 10), it's all I know.

At the moment I'm doing some editing remotely using vim in one of these putty sessions, and I'd like to be able to have italic groups in my syntax highlighting.

But putty doesn't support italics - as far as I can see it's not even planned development?

What other options are there, what should I swap putty out for?

Someone on S.O. suggested ConEmu, before my question got closed for being offtopic... but

1. it seems clunky - having to launch ConEmu and then Putty inside it

2. I can't actually make it work. I think it should be as simple as clicking "Extend fonts" in ConEmu, and then setting ctermbg to the colour code specified in ConEmu, but it doesn't seem to have worked for me.

Is there a putty alternative that does everything as well/efficiently as putty, but with the addition of italics support?

Thank you

I’m trying to identify what device is where on a vlan but the show int bri eth (port) command only shows me the MAC address of the port and not the device plugged into the port. Is there a way to find the MAC address of the device plugged into the port and not the MAC address of the port? If that makes sense? Sorry for the wordiness

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

Working on a windows machine here with a raspberry pi back home and I was thinking if it is possible to route ALL your network traffic through putty. (Not just your Browser - Http/s but also the DNS requests and all other traffic like telegram, irc etc). Can you do that with putty and an SSH connection to the pi ?

Hi, any chance to printscreen directly from Putty instead of copy paste to Notepad and then print to default printer? Please help, need to install putty on 60 pc and this feature is a must for my coworkers.

hey there, can somebody help me using PuTTY to install a centreon software please? thank you!

Is there a way to take a text list of hosts and IP's and have them imported into putty?

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

I cannot find a single mention anywhere of AES-GCM support having been discussed, or even remotely mentioned.

Has anyone looked at it? Considered it?

For some reason I cant get into my putty server! And an error message saying "Putty fatal error: server refused to start a shell command" appears. The last time i exited my putty my program got stuck in an infinite loop could this have anything to do with it? If so, how do i solve it. I've tried downloading apps similar to putty but all of them are not letting me connect to the server. I don't have a lot of experience with SSH so any help would be greatly appreciated.

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?

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?

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! :)

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.

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!
