Re installation of PuTTY

[satimis]

Hi all,

Host - Fadora17 desktop 64bit
Client - Opensuse 12.2 server
KVM - virtualizer.

Openssh server is running on Opensuse server and Openssh client is running on Fadora desktop. I can ssh connect the server on Fadora desktop. Now I expect testing PuTTY, the emulator, which I haven't used before. I have following questions?

1) Do I need to install PuTTY on both server and desktop? Or just install it on Fadora desktop?

2) Can I install and run PuTTY on a server to remotely connect another server (both running Openssh server)? Or PuTTY needs graphics to run?

Pls advise. TIA

You need putty because? Putty is an ssh/telnet client primarily - I use it for ssh connections on Windows to connect to a variety of Linux/Unix systems. However, I don't bother with it to connect from Linux to other systems - I use native ssh instead.

Putty doesn't need (AFAIK) graphics to run, though that may not be true when you are using the Putty client - not sure. Windows is the ONLY system I use it with, and a GUI is inherent there.

I have no problem connecting Linux PC to another Linux PC via SSH including X forwarding. To learn PuTTY is just for curiosity.
