This gives more sensible handling of failed network connections: if the connection _doesn't_ get made, it's pointless to ask the user for a login username anyway, and worse still, you'd probably end up giving the connection-failure error message while the user was in the middle of answering the username prompt. But more importantly, when proxy systems start being able to present their own interactive prompts, it's vital that no backend should already be presenting a prompt while in the process of setting up a network connection.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
