NAME

6       puttytel - GUI Telnet and Rlogin client for X
7

SYNOPSIS

9       puttytel [ options ] [ host ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       puttytel  is a graphical Telnet and Rlogin client for X. It is a direct
13       port of the Windows Telnet and Rlogin client of the same  name,  and  a
14       cut-down cryptography-free version of PuTTY.
15

OPTIONS

17       The command-line options supported by puttytel are:
18
19       --display display-name
20              Specify  the  X  display  on  which to open puttytel. (Note this
21              option has a double minus sign, even though none of  the  others
22              do.  This  is  because  this option is supplied automatically by
23              GTK. Sorry.)
24
25       -fn font-name
26              Specify the font to use for normal text displayed in the  termi‐
27              nal.
28
29       -fb font-name
30              Specify the font to use for bold text displayed in the terminal.
31              If the BoldAsColour resource is set to  1  (the  default),  bold
32              text will be displayed in different colours instead of a differ‐
33              ent font, so this option will be ignored. If BoldAsColour is set
34              to 0 and you do not specify a bold font, puttytel will overprint
35              the normal font to make it look bolder.
36
37       -fw font-name
38              Specify the font to use for double-width  characters  (typically
39              Chinese, Japanese and Korean text) displayed in the terminal.
40
41       -fwb font-name
42              Specify  the font to use for bold double-width characters (typi‐
43              cally Chinese, Japanese and Korean text). Like -fb, this will be
44              ignored unless the BoldAsColour resource is set to 0.
45
46       -geometry geometry
47              Specify  the  size of the terminal, in rows and columns of text.
48              See X(7) for more information on the syntax of geometry specifi‐
49              cations.
50
51       -sl lines
52              Specify the number of lines of scrollback to save off the top of
53              the terminal.
54
55       -fg colour
56              Specify the foreground colour to use for normal text.
57
58       -bg colour
59              Specify the background colour to use for normal text.
60
61       -bfg colour
62              Specify the foreground colour to  use  for  bold  text,  if  the
63              BoldAsColour resource is set to 1 (the default).
64
65       -bbg colour
66              Specify  the  foreground  colour  to  use for bold reverse-video
67              text, if the BoldAsColour resource is set to  1  (the  default).
68              (This colour is best thought of as the bold version of the back‐
69              ground colour; so it only appears when text is displayed in  the
70              background colour.)
71
72       -cfg colour
73              Specify  the  foreground  colour  to use for text covered by the
74              cursor.
75
76       -cbg colour
77              Specify the background colour to use for  text  covered  by  the
78              cursor. In other words, this is the main colour of the cursor.
79
80       -title title
81              Specify  the  initial title of the terminal window. (This can be
82              changed under control of the server.)
83
84       -sb- or +sb
85              Tells puttytel not to display a scroll bar.
86
87       -sb    Tells puttytel to display a scroll bar: this is the opposite  of
88              -sb-. This is the default option: you will probably only need to
89              specify it explicitly if you have changed the default using  the
90              ScrollBar resource.
91
92       -log filename
93              This option makes puttytel log all the terminal output to a file
94              as well as displaying it in the terminal.
95
96       -cs charset
97              This option specifies the character set in which puttytel should
98              assume the session is operating. This character set will be used
99              to interpret all the data received from  the  session,  and  all
100              input  you  type  or  paste into puttytel will be converted into
101              this character set before being sent to the session.
102
103              Any character set name which is valid in a MIME header (and sup‐
104              ported   by   puttytel)  should  be  valid  here  (examples  are
105              `ISO-8859-1', `windows-1252' or `UTF-8').  Also,  any  character
106              encoding  which is valid in an X logical font description should
107              be valid (`ibm-cp437', for example).
108
109              puttytel's default behaviour is to use the same character encod‐
110              ing  as  its  primary font. If you supply a Unicode (iso10646-1)
111              font, it will default to the UTF-8 character set.
112
113              Character set names are case-insensitive.
114
115       -nethack
116              Tells puttytel to enable  NetHack  keypad  mode,  in  which  the
117              numeric  keypad  generates  the NetHack hjklyubn direction keys.
118              This enables you to play NetHack with the numeric keypad without
119              having  to use the NetHack number_pad option (which requires you
120              to press `n' before any repeat count). So you can move with  the
121              numeric  keypad,  and enter repeat counts with the normal number
122              keys.
123
124       -help, --help
125              Display a message summarizing the available options.
126
127       -pgpfp Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys, to aid in
128              verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.
129
130       -load session
131              Load  a  saved  session  by name. This allows you to run a saved
132              session straight from the command  line  without  having  to  go
133              through the configuration box first.
134
135       -telnet, -rlogin, -raw
136              Select the protocol puttytel will use to make the connection.
137
138       -l username
139              Specify the username to use when logging in to the server.
140
141       -P port
142              Specify the port to connect to the server on.
143

SAVED SESSIONS

145       Saved  sessions  are  stored  in a .putty/sessions subdirectory in your
146       home directory.
