If you're having problems using PuTTY the problem is likely elsewhere. But as this is the FreeBSD mailing list, you can most certainly use the ssh client here as well: ssh usernam@hostname.whatever.com One diff I've noticed: In the case of a changed key, PuTTY's default is to issue a warning, and allow the user to decide whether or not to continue the connection; the OpenSSH client's default is to abort the connection.
