How to use Putty to connect to a virtual machine?
putty
Solution
PuTTY will open a "network" between both machines. You'll get a console (like the shell) when you'll be connected. Really useful to administrate remote server from your computer.
Usually, the port is not 80, but 22.
Problem
I am running a virtual machine on Virtual Box On running `ifconfig eth1`, I get inet addr: 192.168.56.11 and many more values. How do I use Putty (ssh) here? I entered 192.168.56.11 on the Host Name and 80 on the Port Number, but Putty can't connect. I am trying to follow the guidelines from this course: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cs144-misc/instructions/vm.html What exactly does Putty do? I don't understand why I need to do this.
