control), you can use the Serial Configuration panel (right image in Figure 8-1) by selecting
“Serial” in the left navigation pane.
Now, to connect to the remote server, simply click the Open button at the bottom of the dialog
box. A new terminal window will pop up and ask you to log in.
So that you don't have to enter this information every time you wish to connect to your server, you
can save this configuration by typing an appropriate name in the Saved Sessions text box in the
PuTTY “Basic Options” window (left image of Figure 8-1) and then clicking the Save button. In the
future, you can select the name you chose in the list box and click the Load button to initialize
this particular configuration.
8.1.3 Running a Command on a Remote Machine Using PuTTY
PuTTY may also be used to run some command residing on the remote server. After specifying
the command line you want to run, you will be asked for your account name and password, and
then the command you specified will execute. When it completes, your session will terminate, and
your window will either close or remain open depending on how you configure the session. Here
are the steps:
1. Bring up the PuTTY application and select the server you wish to connect to.
2. At the bottom of the Basic Options dialog box (left image of Figure 8-1) in the section
titled: Close window on exit, select the Never radio button. This will keep the window open
after the command has finished executing so that you can see any results in the terminal
window.
3. In the menu bar along the left side of the dialog box, click the SSH menu near the bottom.
The following screen will be presented:

executed on the remote machine.
