Need help with SourcdForge

[Rob Wehrli]

In my experience with Putty, which is reasonably extensive, it just
works.  I don't know what Windows XE is, but if you mean XP, I haven't
tried it on that platform.

As a note, you'll find that Putty  (SSH) isn't really as intuitive as
all that...

Type in a hostname
Click the SSH radio button
Click the Save button
Click on the hostname in the combo box of saved sessions
Click the Open button (or just double click the hostname)

Answer Yes when prompted, if you have not previously connected to the
particular host
Enter your username and password when prompted

Be sure to "Load" a session and then "Open" it or modify it.  If you
modify it, "Save" it before "Open"ing it to keep the changes.

I will be at the dev meeting on Monday and perhaps can answer your
questions.

I strongly recommend using Linux for your Internet connection purposes
then share the connection with your other boxes :)


Take Care.

Rob!

Rob Wehrli suggested that I work through SourceForge in my efforts to
transport my graphics project to the Linux platform. I am making some
progress, but my Internet box is Windows XE so I downloaded PuTTY which
(I think) allows me to run as a remote to a SourceForge server using SSH
(Secure SHell) which SourceForge requires. The problem I am having is
getting PuTTY to configure correctly on my Windows box. Has anyone had
any experience with this? I hope to attend the Developers Meeting Monday
and can bring some printouts of screen snapshots of what is happening.
