Questions about using the PuTTY client on Unix/Linux platforms, or about issues where PuTTY behaves differently to other SSH clients when connecting to Unix/Linux hosts. Don't use this tag just because you happen to use PuTTY to connect to your server!

PuTTY is a terminal emulator client developed by Simon Tatham, and is considered Beta Saftware. RSA, DSA, 3DES, AES, Arcfour & Blowfish cryptographic algorithms/ciphers are supported.
