I am also trying to set up to use Putty to tunnel requests through ssh 
to connect to a database.  I asked Caroline some questions specific to 
Putty off list (since its not Linux), thanks Cas.  But I have a more 
general question.

Part of the problem is I am not communicating directly with the ISP but 
through a 3rd person (my first 'user' customer) and I doubt that I have 
been given all the information, or the right information.  When I know 
the right questions I will have a better chance of getting the right info!

I have been told that the username is "user at domain.com"  which works for 
ftp OK.  But when Putty tries to connect its constructs a string that is 
"user at domain.com@domain.com"  Now I can't see how this could be parsed 
correctly.  Is there some way of indicating that the first "@domain.com" 
is part of the username.
