PuTTY README
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This is the README file for the PuTTY 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-only file transfer utility PSCP,
|
|
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
|
|
your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On
|
|
Windows NT, 2000, and XP, you can set it using Control Panel > System;
|
|
on Windows 95, 98, and Me, you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult
|
|
your Windows manuals for details.
|
|
|
|
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?
