Sorry .... didn't know how to make a desktop entry with icon, so to run the application open up terminal and type: putty

These features are new in beta 0.62 (released 2011-12-10):

Security fix: PuTTY no longer retains passwords in memory by mistake.
Bug fix: Pageant now talks to both new-style clients (0.61 and above) and old-style (0.60 and below).
Bug fix: PuTTY no longer prints a spurious "Access denied" message when GSSAPI authentication fails.
Bug fix: PSCP and PSFTP now honour nonstandard port numbers in SSH saved sessions.
Bug fix: Pageant no longer leaks a file handle when an authentication fails.
Bug fix: PuTTYtel no longer crashes when saving a session.
Bug fix: PuTTY now draws underlines under the underlined text instead of sometimes putting them somewhere off to the right.
Bug fix: PuTTY now should not draw VT100 line drawing characters at the wrong vertical offset.

First thing is a big thank you for the pet file.

Here is a quick desktop file...

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=PuTTY
Comment=PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Windows and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator.
Exec=putty
Icon=/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/connect48.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;
StartupNotify=true

(If you cut and paste you need to remove the space character from each line)

Save this in /usr/share/applications as puTTY.desktop

Open a terminal and type:

fixmenus

jwm -restart

You should have puTTY showing up in the Network menu.

Working perfectly under Slacko 5.3.3

@ afishe2000

Thank you firstly for informing me how to make the desktop icon.

I have compiled this again with the latest build with icon viewable in the menu.
