Selecting a protocol: -ssh, -telnet, -rlogin, -raw -serial

PuTTY

3.8.3.2 Selecting a protocol: -ssh, -telnet, -rlogin, -raw -serial

To choose which protocol you want to connect with, you can use one of these options:

  • -ssh selects the SSH protocol.
  • -telnet selects the Telnet protocol.
  • -rlogin selects the Rlogin protocol.
  • -raw selects the raw protocol.
  • -serial selects a serial connection.

These options are not available in the file transfer tools PSCP and PSFTP (which only work with the SSH protocol).

These options are equivalent to the protocol selection buttons in the Session panel of the PuTTY configuration box (see section 4.1.1).
