ssh scrollback

RE*AC*TOR

I need an ssh client (windows) that has a huge scrollback buffer.

I'm running a program that outputs up to 100,000 lines. None of the clients I've tried seem to be able to handle that. I have a gig of ram - so that shouldn't be limiting.

All suggestion greatly appreciated.

What clients have you tried? Putty is highly configurable. Its source code is also available, so you should be able to hax it to bits if required.

I have another suggestion: Redirect the output to a file, then zip it up and download it (or use scp / winscp if there is no ftp or whatever running).

You familiar with redirection?

RE*AC*TOR

Not familiar with redirection. In fact I'd go as far to say that I'm fairly crap at most command line stuff.

I'll have a look at putty (i think i tried before and didn't get very far).

So far I've tried the "official" ssh client and another client called absolute telnet.

Would be totally happy with redirecting to a text file.

RE*AC*TOR

just noticed putty can output to putty.log - will do nicely

Khannie

Sounds like you're sorted. Command line stuff is just practice. Redirection is pretty straightforward and can be very useful. Example below:

dir > directory.txt

(the output of "dir" will be stored in directory.txt).

RE*AC*TOR

that's even better

don't have to keep editing messing around with putty.log - thanks Khannie

If you need to view log/text file in real time as it is updated you can used WinTail or baretail which is on the same site.
