For these cases, you would need to configure the version for that session only, not as a default for your global default. In this case, the compression level is between the levels requested by the client and offered by the server. For example, if the server offers level 6 the default and the client asks for level 1, level 2 is used.
Compression is worth using if your connection is slow for example a modem connection. The efficiency of the compression depends on the type of the file, and varies widely. Putty did not always have serial capability. Putty Home Page. Since ,N,8,1 is the default serial configuration for Cisco equipment, I would not change this.
I have seen some companies who have a standard configuration for IOS devices that set the serial port bit rate to , however, I would still not change the global default. This post covers saving these default settings for every new connection that you make with putty.

When putty starts it uses the default configuration. But where does the default configuration come from? This is the standard opening screen for putty:. Lets change the default terminal length to 40 lines instead of Head down to the Window Category on the left, then click into the Rows and change the value from 20 to Most organizations with more than a hundred servers have large numbers of SSH keys.
Usually, these keys have not been properly managed and audited. An SSH risk assessment is recommended. Organizations should consider deploying key management software to establish proper provisioning, termination, and monitoring for key-based access. Risks of unmanaged SSH keys include uncontrolled attack spread across the server infrstructure, including to disaster recovery data centers and backup systems. Organizations should also be aware of security risks related to SSH port forwarding.
It is a technology that has many good uses, but it can also enable unfettered access across firewalls. Employees and attackers can leave tunnels back into the internal network from the public Internet. This particularly affects organizations using cloud computing services.
Telnet is insecure. Its use is not recommended. The main problem with telnet is that it transmits all passwords and any transmitted data in the clear. Anyone with access to any computer on the same network can steal user names and passwords that are transmitted.
Such password sniffing attacks were very common on the Internet already in the s. Telnet sessions can also be hijacked in the network. Attackers can inject their own commands into telnet sessions. Protection from such attacks was the main reason why Tatu Ylonen developed SSH as a replacement for telnet in the first place.
