For every *nix/BSD user, there was no life before SSH and even the crappy Windows plataform got a client (thank god).

But I’ve personally ran into many bad experiences that Google helped me solve.

So, here are my advices for logging into SSH to a linux machine:

1. Change your Terminal Emulation to “linux”: Connection-> Data -> Terminal-Type String = linux
2. Change your escape sequence to “Linux”: Terminal -> Keyboad -> “The Function Keys and Keypad” -> Linux
3. Set the terminal to UTF-8: Window -> Translation -> “Character set translation on received data” -> UTF-8

That’s it, if someone has other tips envolving PuTTY SSH Client, please share at the comments!
