With Putty, you don't specifiy [email protected]in the way you would using the command-line version of SSH. Just put in hostname.domain on the first screen (the one which asks which host to connect to), then enter your username and password when prompted. Like the previous poster said, your password won't echo; just hit "enter" after you've typed it and everything should work out.

Actually using [email protected] works just fine in putty. That will save you from having to type in your username everytime. If its your first time connecting to the host it should prompt you to verify the host key. Type 'yes'. Then a password prompt should appear. Like aidantrent said it wont echo back to you as you type it. It just looks like nothing is happening.

If you dont even get a password prompt, you need to verify that the linux host is actually up, and there is no firewall in the way (many linux distros have firewalls by default that block just about everything). You should also make sure you can actually resolve the hostname. Try pinging the machine by name.

I think windows has a telnet client installed by default.. you can open up a dos prompt and type this in, to verify that sshd is running on the remote machine:

telnet your.linuxbox.com 22

It should return something like this if sshd is up and running and you successfully connected:

SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.6.1p1+CAN-2004-0175
