This page explains how to use the PuTTY terminal window on Windows.

How to configure PuTTY, how to create and save profiles, and what configuration options to change.

Advanced topics, such as configuring public key authentication, are also addressed.

Detailed installation instructions are provided on the installation instructions page.

Running PuTTY and connecting to a server If you selected to create a desktop icon during installation, you can start the software simply by (double-)clicking on the icon.

When the software starts, a window titled PuTTY Configuration should open.

This window has a configuration pane on the left, a Host Name (or IP address) field and other options in the middle, and a pane for saving session profiles in the lower right area.

For simple use, all you need to do is to enter the domain name or IP address of the host you want to connect to in the Host Name field and click Open (or press Enter).

A domain name looks like students.example.edu.

An IP address looks something like 78.99.129.32.

What if you dont have a server If you dont have a server to connect to, you can try Tectia SSH on Windows or OpenSSH on Linux.

Security alert dialog box When you connect to a server for the first time, you are likely to see a PuTTY Security Alert dialog about the servers host key not being cached in the registry.

This is normal when you are connecting to a server for the first time.

If you ever get this with a server, it could mean that someone is trying to attack your connection and steal your password using a man-in-the-middle attack.

But as said, the first time you connect, this is normal, and you should just click Yes.

If you want to be fancy, you can check the displayed key fingerprint and make sure it is the same that is used by the server.

It is more secure to use a proper SSH key management solution anyway.

Terminal window and login credentials After the security alert, you should get a terminal window.

You are now connected to the server, and anything you type in the Window is sent to the server.

You can run any text-based applications on the server using the window.
