  • Milestone set to 4.0b9
  • Version changed from 3.8.1 to 4.0b8

That should be straight forwarded. ​Starting a session from the command line.

The terminal.command.ssh property in user defaults should be set to 

putty.exe -ssh {0} {1}@{2} -t -P {3} -m "cd {4} && exec \$SHELL"

which is then formatted at runtime with 

        String ssh = MessageFormat.format(Preferences.instance().getProperty("terminal.command.ssh"),
                identity ? "-i " + host.getCredentials().getIdentity().getAbsolute() : "",
                host.getCredentials().getUsername(),
                host.getHostname(),
                String.valueOf(host.getPort()), workdir);

The -m must point to a file according to the PuTTY documentation.

In r8431.

By default Cyberduck looks for putty.exe in the user's home folder. To change the default search path you need to change the hidden configuration option terminal.command.ssh which specifies the location (including putty.exe) of putty.

There is currently no shortcut yet. Ctrl-P is usually used for printing the current file.

Replying to yla:

Ctrl-P doesn't seem to be in use at the moment

What do you think of Ctrl-S for "Shell" ?

It seems available as well.

Cyberduck will start Putty indeed and put you in the right directory (great!)

Public/Private key authentication works beautifully. But when using password authentication, it doesn't pass the password.

Also, would you consider bundling putty.exe so users don't have to fiddle with this? (Like on Mac). Putty is licensed MIT.

"In particular, note that the MIT licence is compatible with the GNU GPL. So if you want to incorporate PuTTY or pieces of PuTTY into a GPL program, there's no problem with that." ​http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/licence.html

Thanks!
