USING PUTTY FOR IRC
=========================
PUTTY is a client which
allows access to an IRC
server. 'Tty' stands for
'telletpye'.
When you run PuTTy, go to
your Programs > PuTTy >
PuTTy. It asks for a
server. Enter the server
IP, then enter your
username and password:
Chris's IP: 208.x.x.x
Port: 22 (22 is SSH, 21 is
FTP)
Host has a UNIX server with
IRC Client. Your client
connects to host's UNIX
server, and then user can
use the Client.
Putty is an SSH (Secure
Chell) client, meaning no
one can snoop in on you
from outside the Shell.
