      Hi all,

      I’m using windows putty to ssh into my linux machine which is doing some mining, however I would like to use screen to leave the session running while closing the putty software (so I don’t have to have two computers running all night). The problem is whenever I use the commands I see in the guides to switch screens for example, ctrl+a+n, it seems to be taking these key strokes in the windows application, not the linux terminal. So I have screen installed on the linux machine, I can run “screen” but I can’t seem to actually use it. Any ideas?

      Thanks,
      Ecurb

        Sounds like putty is not the active window. Daft question but have you clicked the putty window with the mouse?
