#PuTTY

2026-02-05

Prompted by a post from @bloor (bloor.tw/@bloor/11601986231895), i think PFE (original lancs source) was one of those 'so this is what a good program is like' moments: do one job and do it well. Similar era shout out the developers (and yes it was likely single people) to #PuTTY, Pegasus mail, and VLC (i know the latter has grown somewhat, but at a time of supposedly needing 15 different video player apps, having one that 'Just Worked' regardless of codec was great).

🔴 Cập nhật: Vấn đề xác thực SSH qua Putty: Người dùng gặp lỗi "từ chối khóa" dù đã tạo cặp khóa, thiết lập authorized_keys và chỉnh quyền. Phát hiện khóa công khai "dởm" trong thư mục .ssh, nghi ngờ bị xâm nhập? Đã xóa và dự kiến vô hiệu hóa đăng nhập bằng mật khẩu. #SSH #Putty #LinhHoat #Linux #AnToanMang #sysadmin #LinuxVietNam

@simontatham It's been a looong time since I used #putty (I ran it in a #Wine "bottle", these came from #flatpak, I'm using Debian 13 #KDE). Thanks for all your efforts!

To my mind, 98% of the time, people would use putty to log into a #linux box/VPS, like say a #RaspberryPi (Raspberry Pi OS, is #Debian Trixie 13-based). This would be a sensible default assumption, **demographically**.

It took a good 2 hours of struggling, just to get 256 colors to work in Putty! (#Python's textualize library seriously expects 256, or *it can crash* when the Theme is changed). Please let the defaults be sane, so there's no struggle for 256 colors! Please alleviate my nerd rage - I beseech you!

1) Sane TERM env var:
Connection -> Data -> Terminal details -> Terminal-type string -> "putty-256color"

2) Sane default font:
Window -> Appearance -> Font settings -> "Change" button -> adwaita mono 12

3) Sane bolding of text:
Window -> Colors -> General options for color usage -> Indicate bolded text by changing: The font

4) Sane (Linux-terminal-style) Ctrl + Shift + {C,V} (for copy and paste):
Window -> Selection -> Assign copy/paste actions to clipboard -> Ctrl + Shift + (C,V}: System Clipboard

In putty, TERM should be set to putty-256colorPutty font-setting screenPutty allows Copy and Paste as works in KDE Konsole: Ctrl + Shift + {C,V}Putty won't bold text by default

Did you know that you can configure the number of Scrollback Lines in Royal TS? ⚙️  If you are using the Rebex Plugin, you can configure it under Advanced → Input → Other. When using the PuTTY Plugin, it can be configured under Advanced → Input → Scrollback 💡

What's in today's ? Why, it's our old friend !

Remember when we didn't have an ssh client for Windows? And then we did! I've used PuTTY for so many switch configs, then later for accessing Linux systems too.

It's still handy. Sure, I can just run ssh, but if the target doesn't support all the modern ciphers, PuTTY will just figure it out and connect.

It also works great as a good ol' serial terminal, and I still have switches to configure.

Ahh now I get why still a ot of #Windows folks still use #Putty xD lol

Windows is just a bad habit forming enslavement tool… And no it is not easier to use… the Administration of Windows is imho much more annoying then administrating anything in #Linux 🤷

For a moment there I thought #putty download server was offline. Further investigation showed 'the.earth.li' was resolving to 0.0.0.0, to the #pihole! Sure enough, one of the lists I use 'raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiL' has it marked. One allow-listing later and we're in business.
