PuTTY closes automatically

[Justin]

I am just getting started programming a PFC200v3 (750-8217). One issue that I am encountering is that the PuTTY window keeps closing after around 4 minutes of inactivity. To fix this sort of problem I would normally edit the PuTTY “Connection > Seconds between keepalives” to something like 30, but that doesn’t seem to be working on this occassion. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Since FW9, a timeout is activated which logs off a user after 5 idle minutes. You can comment out 3 lines near the bottom of /etc/profile to disable this:

#set idle timeout
#TMOUT=300
#readonly TMOUT
#export TMOUT

then reboot

also if you want to log in without password:

1. Generate password using PUTTYgen
   

   

2. You can add passphrase, its safer, but you have to enter passphrase each time
   

   

3. Save your private key

4. In PLC Console (PuTTY) paste and fill file with genereted phrase from “Key” section from puttygen:

mkdir /root/.ssh /
nano /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

To save: CTRL+x, then “y” and enter

5. In putty add private key to session:
   
   
6. Save you session for future use:
