If you select ‘Serial’ from the ‘Connection type’ radio buttons, the ‘Host Name’ and ‘Port’ boxes are replaced by ‘Serial line’ and ‘Speed’ see section 4.28 for more details of these. If you select Raw mode, you will almost certainly need to fill in the ‘Port’ box yourself.


If you select Telnet, Rlogin, or SSH, this box will be filled in automatically to the usual value, and you will only need to change it if you have an unusual server. As long as your PuTTY SSH connection remains connected, your proxy tunnel will be open and you will be able to use the internet through this proxy. Make sure 'SOCKS v5' is selected and select the 'OK' button to save. Step 4: Configuring Your System Software. In the 'SOCKS Host' box enter 'localhost' and for 'Port' enter '31415' (or whatever you set your SSH Tunnel up with). The ‘Port’ box lets you specify which port number on the server to connect to. If you haven’t done so, start by creating the SSH gateway server and save it on your system. This is stored by default in a file called PUTTY.RND this is stored by default in the ‘Application Data’ directory, or failing that, one of a number of fallback locations.

PuTTY also requires a random number seed file, to improve the unpredictability of randomly chosen data needed as part of the SSH cryptography.

Color Black White Red Green Blue Yellow Magenta Cyan Transparency Transparent Semi-Transparent Opaque. The ‘Connection type’ radio buttons let you choose what type of connection you want to make: a raw connection, a Telnet connection, an Rlogin connection, an SSH connection, or a connection to a local serial line. The ‘Host Name’ box is where you type the name, or the IP address, of the server you want to connect to.
Putty ssh config windows#
The top box on the Session panel, labelled ‘Specify your connection by host name’, contains the details that need to be filled in before PuTTY can open a session at all. Command line options allow you to write to a specified file (defaults to the Bash for Windows config location), append a current file, and set a file prefix (location).
