PuTTYNG

This is a modified version of PuTTY from Simon Tatham to be used with mRemoteNG.

This version removes the "Connection lost" popup and just writes a message to the terminal.

IE: ------------------- PuTTYNG Fatal Error ------------------

• Network error: Software caused connection abort

The following files within the project were modified:

• BE_ALL_S.C
• CMDLINE.C
• PUTTY.H
• WINDOWS/PUTTY.RC
• WINDOWS/VERSION.RC2
• WINDOWS/WINDOW.C

The following file within the project was added:

• WINDOWS/MAKEFILE.NG
• MAKEFILE = MAKEFILE.NG (merge changes from Makefile.vc)
• rename putty.exe to puttyng.exe
• change the "all" target to only build puttyng.exe

For building on Windows:

• windows/MAKEFILE.NG is for command-line builds on MS Visual C++ systems. Change into the windows' subdirectory and type nmake -f MAKEFILE.NG' to build all the PuTTY binaries.

  Last time we checked, PuTTY built with vanilla VC7, or VC6 with an up-to-date Platform SDK. (It might still be possible to build with vanilla VC6, but you'll certainly have to remove some functionality with directives such as NO_IPV6.)

To install for mRemoteNG:

• Copy the compiled PuTTYNG.exe file to a directory on your root drive. IE: "C:\Program Files (x86)\putty"
  • You can compile yourself or use the precompiled version in the bin directory.
• Update the mRemoteNG configuration with the new putty version: Tools > Options > Advanced > Use Custom Putty Path
• Browse to the location where you copied the new putty binary. IE: "C:\Program Files (x86)\putty\PuTTYNG.exe"
