I am using Putty -> Suse box -> vim 7.2 combo for editing and want to remap Ctrl + arrows combo to a particular task. But for some reason, Vim ignores the shortcut and goes into insert mode and inserts character “D” (for left) of “C” (for right).
I use screen for my command-line tasks while managing the servers where I work. I usually run small commands (mostly file-system tasks) but sometimes I run more extensive tasks (like DBA).
I have Linux mint on my pc.
I have generated and downloaded a private .pem key from AWS. However, to use Putty in order to connect to the virtual machine, I must have that key in .ppk format. The process of conversion is detailed in roughly 20 lines here:
I’ve found that ssh-keygen (“ssh” package) produces different keys from puttygen (“putty” package).
I have set up a VM of Ubuntu server, have installed OpenSSH, and am now trying to connect to it using Putty. Within Putty, under “Host name”, I put “Ubuntu”, given this is what I thought it was called when I set up the VM. However, I just get the error: “Connection Timed Out”.
I am using PuTTY on Windows 7 to SSH to my school computer lab. Can I transfer files from my Windows machine to my user on the school machines using SSH?
Is there a way to back out of all SSH connections and close PuTTY in “one shot”? I work in Windows 7 and use PuTTY to SSH to various Linux hosts.
Each time putty is closing the session after some time if it is idle.
