This is a pretty simple thing to do and can be a real life saver if you happen to lose the config on a device. Now enter the show run command ( router# show run), then log out and see the output in config.txt on your desktop (or the location you chose). Click on Browse and choose the location and name of the file (I like to place my config file on my desktop – C:\ Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\config.txt)Ĩ. Go to Session and click on Logging, select “ Log all session output”Ħ. Right-click on the menu bar of the Putty screen and select “C hange Settings”ĥ. This allows you to capture the configuration without extraneous −−more−− prompts generated when the router responds one screen at a time.Ĥ. Enter the terminal length 0 command ( router# terminal length 0) in order to force the router to return the entire response at once, rather than one screen at a time. Enter the user exec mode ( router> enable)ģ. Launch putty and connect to your Cisco router/switchĢ. Most of the features I need are there, Multiple Instance support/Screen Copy/Paste, Window/Line Drawing, Scrollback, VT100/VT52 work with non-standard line & row counts, Multiple config support etc.Īll in all, I'm really happy with it, what's $10 if it allows someone to spend their time porting an app with a limited potential customer base.You can easily capture the configuration file from any network devices like Cisco Routers, Switches etc. This is helpful to know that I have actually exited and not had my connection hung. Close Windows on Exit/Clean Exit is there but not working for me.
Alt-Enter Full Screen isn't implemented yet (in 1.0.0)ģ. Rescaling Fonts on Windows resizing isn't supported yet (In 1.0.0)Ģ.
The v1.0.0 release of the Mac version does have some features I need missing (but coming according to the Dev, who is very responsive).ġ. I don't have an issue with a $10 price not to have to run a Parallels/Fusion/Wine subsystem just for this app. I've been running PuTTY for years under a Windows emulator and to say I'm happy that someone has put the effort into porting a Mac version would be an understatement.
I've bought loads of commercial emulators, installed many free solutions but none of them work properly for me. I'm not a "converted Windows user", but I have to log in to several systems with different terminal emulation, often with line drawing and I've yet to find a Mac app that is compatible across all the systems I need to log in to. VERY useful for those of us that need to log in to Unix systems.
I'll leave you with this - WINE Is Not (an) Emulator and you mighr want to change your DBA from WINE to WHINE. Simon, who wrote PuTTY for Windows (ported FROM *nix) 18 years ago is still at version 0.70, still maintaining it (for free) because he's a good guy. Thanks, however, to your replies to others, I'd rather spend the extra half hour compiling it on MY 10.13 system. I haven't used PuTTY in over 10 years and was going to buy it for purely nostalgic reasons. However, I've read your responses to other people and you seem to think $15 is "nothing" - well, it's not. At $5, it would be reasonable and even a no-brainer. My *Major* issue is that ordinarily you charge $15 for an open-source project. I *do* understand you're providing a "service" compiling it and then selling it. I can understand a "convenience fee" for those users who don't want to spend the +/- 40 minutes compiling this on their own systems, as I fail to see any major differences between this app and the most current Homebrew, MacPorts or other repositories where it's completely free. Also it is cool to use Putty as your SSH client if you are doing some Amazon AWS, VMware ESXi or CISCO stuff, transferring files, managing files on a server, or whatever. Although you can use Terminal.app for SSH connections, there are still some benefits to using Putty such as other clients' failure to keep connections live, whereas Putty does. SSH is available by default on Mac, Linux, or Unix.
Official versions of Putty are available on Unix-like platforms, and now it's widely available for Mac systems running OS X 10.11 or later. With the help of some other applications, we can use putty on Mac, although Putty is used widely on Windows platform.
But what will you do if you are on Mac? You might be wondering if there is any software like Putty available for Mac? The answer is yes! In Windows, it is used as SSH client to connect to your Linux server, or for some other purpose. It supports different types of network protocols such as SSH, FTP, SCP, Telnet, etc. Putty is one of the best terminal emulators available today.
