Ssh – Function keys over SSH/PuTTY to SCO unix

puttysshunix

I am trying to set up SSH to a SCO Unix server that runs custom software that uses the function keys on the keyboard, however the keys do not appear to be in the correct format for SCO to recognise. None of the keyboard options on PuTTY work, including the SCO option.

How do I change the keycodes that SCO/bash is looking for when it wants a function key? If it helps, the system is upgrading from Wyse50 terminals.

thanks!

I'd suggest using an ANSI or SCO ANSI emulation type.

The keybindings will be the biggest trick, but in my experience, ansi, ansi25 and scoansi have been winners for me.

For the keybindings, go to:

Session > Terminal > Keyboard

Anyone suggest a good ssh terminal emulator for windows (connecting to RHEL box) and proper terminal type?

You can do it with Bash's process substitution:

 diff foo <(ssh myServer 'cat foo')

Or, if both are on remote servers:

diff <(ssh myServer1 'cat foo') <(ssh myServer2 'cat foo')

Ssh – How to manage ssh keys to add a second user

You need to login using the putty on the windows machine and exit the .ssh/authorized_keys file and add the key that you generated on the mac to the file.

Do not run the command

scp -2 -P 50022 -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub newuser@111.222.333.444:

That will over write the existing key on the server, and it will not work either as the server only accepts key logins.
