Thanks Duncan, Thanks Ray.
I could not remember what Putty was called!
I had had a look through the manual and now I have had a look at some of the tech docs and have been able to connect with Putty. Thank you for the very polite suggestion that I RTFM.
One thing though, inorder for me to be able to connect with Putty, I had to "Allow secure shell access using standard passwords". In my naiveity I had thought that "Allow administrative command line access over secure shell" would be sufficient for the task.
Is there another way around this, is there something else that I am missing or is the way I am doing it 'the way'?
Thanks as always...
