I've been using PuTTY as a Cygwin terminal and it's fantastic - see

Thanks that is what I wanted. I'm gettig a permission denied error. I
put the files in the cygdrive/bin directory so that it could find the
cygwin1.dll file but and getting a permsion error? Did you type anything
into the path file to just select cygterm and it worked? B-)
Hi Kevin,
I used the puttycyg-20070207.zip binary to install, and this is what worked on
my XP SP2 machine:
1. Copy putty.exe and cthelper.exe to /usr/local/bin.
2. Click Start/Run, enter c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\putty.exe and press ENTER.
3. PuTTY launches.
4. In the PuTTY Configuration window, click Session in the left pane and in the
right pane enter:
A. Command (use - for login shell) --- Enter a dash -
B. Port (ignored) --- Enter a dash -
C. Connection Type click (*)Cygterm
5. Put Default Settings in the Saved Sessions window.
6. Click Save. Save again as cygwin, for backup purposes.
7. Close PuTTY and re-open with the Start/Run command in step 2 - that should
be it.
8. If you create a desktop shortcut:
A. Target: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\putty.exe -load cygwin (See step 5)
B. Start in: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
9. My PuTTY version info - Clicking the upper left window of the PuTTY window and
choosing About PuTTY shows "Unidentified build, Dec 6 2006 14:50:41"
I've been using the version since February and it works great - you might be
sure that Cygwin is updated since this requires Cygwin 1.5.24 or higher
according to the web page. cygcheck -s -r -v shows Cygwin DLL 1.5.24. I have
PuTTY set for 9999 lines of scrollback, logging to disk, etc. and all of that
works fine.
CUT AND PASTE - your original question - To copy a word or line, double click
or triple click. To paste back to PuTTY press Shift+Insert or right-click.
