How to set up PuTTY and connect to victorio

Doubleclick on the PuTTY.exe icon, and get a small box in return. To the right, you are prompted for "Host Name". Ex.192.168.1.5  (where user is your username). Give the connection a name, e.g. "victorio" (in the space one field down).

Then, click Terminal to the left, and choose UTF-8 (or, in recent versions: In the leftmost box (Category) of the Putty settings box, under Window choose Translation.

The default translation is ISO-8859-1, you should open the list and choose UTF-8. Font size 8 gives you a normal amount on text, and most monitors give you 50 lines of text.

After having made these choices, go back to the first (or rightmost) menu, and click on save in the menu to the rignt. Make sure SSH is chosen under "Protocol", and click on "Open" at the bottom of the window.

If everything is ok, you will find a new window in front of you, prompting for your user name. Write it, and then press the ENTER key, and write your password, followed by ENTER. Then you are logged in.
This presupposes that you have a Sámi keyboard on your PC.

From 2004 onwards all new Windows XP systems have Sámi keyboards installed, you may find it by right-clicking the keyboard symbol, or via the Control Panel.
