PuTTY README
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the README file for the PuTTY MSI installer distribution. If
|
||
|
|
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
|
||
|
|
installed PuTTY on your system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What should I do next?
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
|
||
|
|
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
|
||
|
|
Start menu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use the command-line file transfer utility PSCP, you
|
||
|
|
will need to run this from a Command Prompt or equivalent, because it
|
||
|
|
will not do anything useful without command-line options telling it
|
||
|
|
what files to copy to and from where. You can do this by just running
|
||
|
|
the command 'pscp' from a Command Prompt, if you used the installer's
|
||
|
|
option to put the PuTTY installation directory on your PATH.
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can always run pscp.exe by its full pathname, e.g.
|
||
|
|
"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Note that a Command Prompt that was already open before you ran the
|
||
|
|
installer will not have inherited the update of PATH.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
|
||
|
|
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
|
||
|
|
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
|
||
|
|
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
|
||
|
|
for information on how to solve this problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What do I do if it doesn't work?
