PuTTY is a free Telnet and SSH ("Secure Shell") client for Windows and Linux. While Mac and Linux users have an integrated SSH program, Windows users don't and can use PuTTY to access and manage their Dreamhacks.
PuTTY Configuration
- Host name is "hack.dreamwidth.net" and goes into Session.
- SSH username is the dh-username given to you in your welcome email and goes into Connection/Data.
Appearance Settings
- To change the size of the window, go to Window.
- To change the size of the text go to Window/Appearance.
