Questions[putty](server)

I am using PSCP to upload some files from Windows to Linux. I can do it fine just uploading one file at a time. But I have some very large directories and I want to upload an entire directory at once.

I have tried:

pscp -i C:\sitedeploy\abt-keypair.ppk includes\* [email protected]:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes/*

Throws error: "pscp: remote filespec /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes/*: not a directory"

and

pscp -i C:\sitedeploy\abt-keypair.ppk includes\ [email protected]:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes/

Throws error: "scp: includes: not a regular file"

and

pscp -i C:\sitedeploy\abt-keypair.ppk includes [email protected]:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes

Throws error: "scp: includes: not a regular file"

Normally, when you load a saved session in PuTTY and connect to it, PuTTY will set the window title to the host name of the system you connected to (plus the string "PuTTY").

Now I have many different sessions that all connect to the same host, but on different ports (because the host runs several SSH tunnels on different ports). Therefore seeing the host name is not very helpful, since it's always the same.

So I'd like PuTTY to show the name of the loaded session in the window title. Is there a way to do this?

The only way I could find is to set the window title manually (Window / Behaviour / Window title). But I believe I'd have to do this manually for each session, which is rather tedious.

I searched and couldn't find a solution for this anywhere. I'm using PuTTY from Windows to connect to various servers where I run bash and screen. It seems bash works fine with ctrl-arrow keys to jump word-to-word on the command line but within screen it's not working. Not in screen, ctrl-left sends "^[OC and ctrl-right is "^[OD". Within screen I instead get "^[[C" and "^[[D", which appears to be the codes for just the left/right arrow keys. Is there any way to get screen to recognize ctrl-arrow keys when using PuTTY? (FYI, I don't remember having this problem when using gnu-terminal in linux instead of PuTTY).

UPDATE: It appears PuTTY is the problem as it is not sending the escape codes that are necessary for this to work. I'm giving up for now and using Cygwin+mintty.

When I log in with PuTTY, I always have to:

• change settings
• appearance
• font
• change
• 8
• resize window

so that I can see enough text to work with the log files.

I don't see where I can save these settings to my saved session. Is this possible?

Answer:

So the answer is click on change settings, change everything but then you have to also click on session the name again and save, thanks David:

I've done several attempts to establish SSH-connecton for user root@host using putty terminal. While doing so I specified wrong credentials several times and after that I've specified them correctly, and then after the credentials were accepted the ssh session breaks with

"Server unexpectedly closed network connection".

This error is reported by putty terminal. When trying to ssh root@localhost from the local console - it works fine. It also works fine when I ssh otheruser@host from other host. So network connectivity issues are not guilty. The only error I am thinking of is: "Too many Authentication Failures for user root" although putty reported a different error.

The question is: how to recover from this error condition and let putty login again? Restarting sshd seems to not help
