saves as you are editing allows you to change the file's name.undeletes (restores) the last line(s) deleted and places them at the cursor position.deletes the entire line at the cursor position.deletes the character at the cursor position.erases the character to the left of the cursor.For example, ( or ) means you should press and hold the Control key and then press the x key. The Control key is used like the Shift key press and hold the Control key and then press the next character. PICO commands are used in conjunction with the Control key ( or on a Macintosh), represented on the screen by the caret ( ^). The bottom two lines in the PICO screen list Quick Command keys. PICO displays up to 19 lines on the screen at one time. The status line at the top of the screen (to the left) indicates which version of PICO you are currently using, and (at the center) the name of the file you are editing. (Don't forget the period before the word login.)
If you open PICO and UNIX doesn't know what type of terminal you are on, you will see a message similar to: Press ( on a Macintosh) after each command. Where filename is the name of the file you want to create or the file you want to edit. To create a text file or to edit an existing text file, at the UNIX prompt ($) type: If you use the PINE email program, you are automatically placed in PICO when you select the Compose and Send a Message option or when you reply to a received message. One advantage of PICO over other editors is that typed words are automatically wrapped from one line to the next, which is helpful for composing messages - but beware of that feature if you use PICO for writing computer programs. PICO is a quick and efficient text editor for composing mail messages and for creating and modifying UNIX files. If you have a favorite then please contact me using the contact form or put something in the comments and I would be pleased to add it or write it up.410 - Use PICO to Edit Text in Linux/UNIX This really is only just the start of what can do with PuTTY, and there are lots more things. Pretty quickly they will become second nature and you will have even more speed and confidence as you move around your network. You will need to spend some time learning the keyboard shortcuts that I talked about.
#HOW TO GET PUTTY TO SUPPORT UP ARROW WINDOWS#
You can now use the Windows Command Line to connect directly to a SSH host by using this syntax: It works best for SSH devices although it does, kind of support telnet, just not very well. This technique shows a really fast way to get connected to your devices. It just not geek enough, and you need to be hardcore. Spending all your life clicky-clicky on the cute little mousey is just distracting you from the task at the hand. If you spend all day connecting to equpment, you need to get the connection done as fast as possible. YES! Freedom from the mouse! A little review then So now I can open a DOS box (Ctrl-Escape, R, cmd, Enter – just to remind you again), then type: You need double quotes around the session name if it contains spaces. If these details include a host name, then this option is all you need to make PuTTY start a session. The -load option causes PuTTY to load configuration details out of a saved session. Putty.exe -load “session name” ALRIGHT!!!! In order to start an existing saved session called sessionname, use the -load option (described in section 3.8.3.1). Also, you can specify a protocol, which will override the default protocol (see section 3.8.3.2).įor telnet sessions, the following alternative syntax is supported (this makes PuTTY suitable for use as a URL handler for telnet URLs in web browsers): If this syntax is used, settings are taken from the Default Settings (see section 4.1.2) user overrides these settings if supplied. To start a connection to a server called host:
In Section 3.8 of the Help file, cleverly titled “The PuTTY command line” we get the following details. Is strikes me that PuTTY was built by people who are really CLI centric so there would have to be options for doing more. Ahh, the speed and the comfort!! Can you feel that ? But you’re right, I want even less clicking….īUT, I still have to click on grunter and then open with my mouse hand.
