I want putty to send a linefeed and carriage return everytime I press CR.

[dylanthomasfan]

Hi,

I am using putty to connect to a remote server, and sadly the remote
server (on which I have no configuration permissions) requires two CR--
one for CR and another for LF. Could you tell me what I need to
configure in PuTTy so that one CR results in both CR+LF?

Thanks.

How doe sit respond if you press CTRL+J (<LF>) instead of <RETURN> (CTRL+M)?

In the "old days", UN*X folks and others called that the "New Line" key. Some
older terminals had a "NewLine" key, even.

If he has shell access (does not say what the "server" is), then he could use stty's
icrnl feature. If not, perhaps something can be made to send the automatic
newline escape sequence (which all vt100 emulators must implement - though I
recall some that don't ;-)

That would be something like

ESC [ 2 0 h

Both Ctrl+J and Ctrl+M behaves exactly like a return key does: I have
to press Ctrl+J/M twice to get to the next prompt.

Any other ideas?

I don't have shell access the server in question is not a *nix
terminal, but a VxWorks terminal.

So you can't fix the server.

PuTTY has a setting for "Implicit CR in every LF" in the "Terminal" panel.
If you set that (and don't mind hitting CTRL/J rather than Enter),
that could work.

Afraid not: that only affects the interpretation of the terminal
output, not the input.

I don't see any way to achieve this in current PuTTY without
modifying the source.

Simon Tatham What do we want? ROT13!

Thanks, all.

Simon is right--I tried everything under the sun. Putty won't work for
me requirements. I have to use teraterm and teraterm is so not fun to
use (I connect to multiple machines with diffrent profiles and to
diffeerent IPs on different port#'s, and I have to enter the details
all the time).

I've used IVT before to talk to various embedded systems (including ones
running VxWorks) from Windows and it seemed to work well there. I was
typically only talking to one or two systems that had more or less the
same configuration, but I know IVT can set up many sessions with
different remembered details. I think there is also a way to launch
several predefined sessions at once - CREATE and CREATEGRP. See
http://home.wxs.nl/~ruurdb/IVT.HTM .

Standard disclaimers apply; I don't get money or other considerations
from any companies mentioned.
