 | View Full Version : alternatives to putty? okihost 11-06-2002, 04:31 PM I love putty and all but the biggest setback I see for it is that there is no way to cut and paste.. atleast not that I can figure out.. does anyone know of any good alternatives.. I mean I love putty especally beause it is just a nice little 50k .exe file with no install or anything needed but I need a way to cut and paste.. davidb 11-06-2002, 04:34 PM I belive vandykes ssh client can do it. richy 11-06-2002, 04:37 PM silicone is ok on windows :) lol sorry :( that was poor i know. i used securecrt. reccomended to me by gary from dixiesys when i was getting into linux servers. ive not really used many but that one seems to do everything i want. tapster 11-06-2002, 04:37 PM :confused: copy by selecting the text with left mouse button paste by clicking the right button putty FAQ (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#A.5.4) AHDOnline 11-06-2002, 04:37 PM You can cut and paste in putty. IF you want to copy text from an external document, copy as normal then in putty put the cursor where you want the text and right click the mouse, it will insert the text. Also to cut and past within putty use your mouse to highlight the text and then move the cursor where you want the text and right click the mouse. I hope that makes sense.. okihost 11-06-2002, 05:06 PM Wow you guys are great.. Its works.. I am so user to doing the normal winblows cut/paste I could not figure it out.. thank again..

Multiple clip board entries for those of us who dont use MS Offce and still want multiple clipboard functionalities.
