Good Day,

I am using putty on linux computers. I do have 2 issues.

1-font is too small how could I adjust it?
2-How come under linux putty wont let me copy a paste?

Thanks.

Why not just use a conventional ssh or telnet client in an Xterm or other terminal emulator? If you are using Fedora, the terminal emulators there support cut & paste, and have settable fonts and sizes.

^ well I would love to but that brings up bigger issue, how could I use my ssh-key with terminal ?

1-key wasn't created on my linux box it was e-mailed to me.

Thanks.

I thought putty was a Windows app?

There is source code.

You do this by adding files in the ~/.ssh directory. See http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/

^ Thank you.
I read the article
My key had a name
mykey.ppk

Code:

#cd .ssh
# mv mykey.ppk id-dsa
#chmod 700 id_dsa
# ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey 192.xxx.xxx.xxx
Enter passphrase for key '/home/ahmad/.ssh/id_dsa':

when I enter my passphrase, it same prompt comes back(pass phrase works well with putty+private key )

Code:

Enter passphrase for key '/home/ahmad/.ssh/id_dsa':
