![]() ![]() Ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 Since wine handles com ports by having a link to the device (ie /dev/ttyUSB0), in the ~/.wine/dosdevices folder, this link would be created as follows, in order to update your wine profile configs: In order to connect to console serial ports, Wine needs to be configured to connect its virtual serial ports devices (COM1, etc) to teh real Linux serial port devices (ttyS0, TTYUSB0, etc). Identifier “middle button emulation class”Ģ. This change has disabled emulation of the middle mouse button by clicking the left and right mouse buttons) I needed to enable it manually:Įnabling the middle mouse button emulation adding this to nf snippet: Since Linux Mint distro I’m using had not this middle button simulation activated (The latest version of evdev, version 2.5, changed the default for the middle mouse button emulation code. Usually Laptops touchpads do not have middle button anymore, so I simulated the middle button, clicking both left and right buttons. Paste text clicking on the mouse middle button. In case you want to use PuTTY on Linux you have 2 options: Personally, this is what I’m using when I’m in Linux. It allows you to paste the username and password from Keepas (works with Ubuntu Wine) by going to “Edit –Paste”. But in case it is using different SSH port:Ĭommand is: ssh –p 1234 the example above, SSH port is 1234. TIPS: If you are using Ubuntu Linux terminal (Accessories – Terminal) can used to connect to the SSH server with the same functionality as PuTTY:Ĭommand is: ssh course it assumes your hosting SSH server is using port 22. The secret word to become efficient when doing copy paste of login details to PuTTY is doing “RIGHT CLICK”. If your login details are correct, you should be able to connect to your hosting SSH server. RIGHT CLICKING automatically pastes your password. RIGHT CLICK again ACCURATELY on the light green color on the password field. Right click on the Keepas entry of your website and then click “Copy Password”. Press enter key, PuTTY will ask for your password. This will automatically paste your username. Now in the PuTTY RIGHT CLICK your mouse accurately on the light green colored cursor at the “login as:” field. Now right click on the login entry of your Keepas for that specific website then click “Copy Username”. Initiate the SSH server connection using PuTTY this is done by clicking “Open”. These are the actual steps (for efficiency, open BOTH the Keepas and PuTTY terminal window before doing the steps below): ![]() The less familiar part is how to paste the username and password in the PuTTY terminal. This makes it highly secure if you are using copy and paste because it is cleared in a very short time from the clipboard. Keepas stores password with high encryption and expires password in 10 seconds by default (you can customize this, the lesser the better) after copying it. You still need a high level security in your computer by installing reputable third party antivirus either Kaspersky, Bitdefender or Nod Eset 32 to detect and prevent these malware from abusing your Windows computer and compromising your login. Recommendation: It is highly recommended that you do not rely on encryption alone to protect your passwords. Therefore the safest way to copy and paste login details from Keepas: ![]() Assuming the high risk level of key loggers in your computer that are undetected they can sniff your login information easily if you type it. It is even more insecure if you are typing your username and passwords. Your username and password will stay in the clipboard for a very long time unless it is intentionally cleared (through pressing Esc key or other methods). This short guide will focus on the most efficient method of entering usernames and passwords in the PuTTY terminal- the copy and paste method.Ĭopy and paste alone is not even secure by design. There are solutions for password-less Putty communication to a server such as discussed in this tutorial:, but it requires knowledge of encryption keys and authentication which is too much for a beginner or novice webmasters. This means that every time you log on to PuTTY you are required to enter your username and password. PuTTY though is much more challenging than FTP particularly that this does not allow storing passwords for security reasons. Bad Guy is monitoring your communications, he will be greatly disappointed. SSH encrypts communication between your computer and the SSH server in your hosting company. If you are a webmaster, you should be using SSH for uploading and downloading files because they are more secure than using FTP method. Using Keepas and PuTTY you can make your login secure using a command line tool for communicating with an SSH server. ![]()
