How to create a log file of your PuTTY session (legacy Flash tutorial) Print

  • 0

Quick answer

A PuTTY log can contain private terminal output. Enable only the diagnostic scope you need and protect the file.

Applies to

For the owner or an authorized editor of the website/account named in this article. Confirm the installed product version and permissions. Interactive Online hosting access does not automatically grant an application administrator login.

Steps

  1. Use your own authorized computer and obtain the correct hosting connection details. Keep private keys and passphrases outside chat and website files.
  2. Open Session > Logging, choose the minimum useful mode and a unique protected local filename, then inspect its overwrite behavior.
  3. Inspect the sample log and confirm that it contains the intended output. Keep private session output outside public web access.

Check the result

Confirm the actual host, account and intended setting, rather than relying on a saved label.

Troubleshooting and support

For a changed host key, permission error or missing setting, confirm the service details and supported application version. Do not bypass certificate/host-key checks or expose an SSH listener publicly.

Contact support from the owning account with the domain, product/version, exact error, time/time zone and redacted evidence. Exclude credentials, session URLs, payment details and private customer records. Confirm any separate application-support scope.
