Putty Colors

We need to use putty-256color instead of xterm-256color or else the Home key is not working.

Putty shows prompt with no color, but Linux SSH can In Putty, change Settings -> Connection > Data > Terminal-type string to: putty-256color. "Emulate" 256 colors in PuTTY terminal

1. Configure Putty

In Settings > Windows > Colours there is a check box for "Allow terminal to use xterm 256-colour mode". 2. Let the app know

You'll probably have to change Settings -> Connection > Data > Terminal-type string to: xterm-256color

if your server has a terminfo entry for putty-256color, typically in /usr/share/terminfo/p/putty-256color, you can set Putty's Terminal-Type to putty-256color instead.

The main thing here is to make the server use an available Terminfo entry that most closely matches the way Putty is configured.
