They don't read this for the Putty instructions. Those read "You can download PuTTY from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/, and excellent instructions on setting it up, generating keys, and forming a tunnel with port forwarding can be found in the <PuTTY User Manual>. See also the very good, "<How to make a tunnel from PuTTY>." The key values are the same as for the Cygwin tunnel, so no repetition is needed. Willy Sudiarto Raharjo has succeeded in creating keys for OpenOffice.org using PuTTY plus Pageant (PuTTY Authentication Agent), downloaded from the same website as PuTTY." -> So you'll find detailed instructions in the "PuTTY User Manual" or in the very good "How to make a tunnel from TuTTY" guide. > But when I start PuTTY, there is no prompt, and I don't know how to get > one.

OK, I see. "The key values are the same as for the Cygwin tunnel, so no repetition is needed." is wrong. The values should be repeated. # Port: 2401 (remote and local) # Username: tunnel # Remote Hostname: openoffice.org # Local Hostname: localhost > [...] > >When using cygwin, you have all the comfort that a unix-shell offers. > > So I should try to use that instead of PuTTY?

But a decent shell can ease your work. ciao Christian -- NP: Emil Bulls - DJ Zamzoe's Moonchild --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
