[techtalk] Using Putty to connect to SSH

[Adrian Glover]

I am new to using SSH, and when I try to use putty to connect to my linux server
at home from work, the window appears, and dissapears immediately. I tried using
telnet to connect to the SSH port and all that happens is the following string
appears at the top of the telnet window (leading me to believe I am getting
through the firewall)

SSH-2.0-2.0.13 (non-commercial)

I am not sure if I have setup my ssh2d server properly.. I basically just built
it, and ran it. I can ssh2 localhost and log in fine from a telnet window onto
that machine.

Thanks for your help,

 Adrian
