Unsolved Linux Plus Lab machines not configured correctly?

---

Hello all,

I've just started the linux plus course, and went to do the first lab they had. I was trying to follow the directions, but the directions say that you need to SSH into a test system using putty. The windows server, thats supposed to have putty installed doesn't. So far as I can tell, it doesn't have any software installed.

The lab directions don't say anything about installing putty on your own, and I'm not sure if this is intentional (something we have to overcome ourselves), or if this is something that needs to be reported to somebody. If its the latter, who do we report it too?

See if a family member has an old computer you can have. Nothing special. Install Ubuntu 16.04.04 on it and enable OpenSSH. Then use Putty to access it. It will be great practice on doing the videos and labs.

@matt-gubernick,

I'll have to take a look. But if it's in practice-labs, the Windows Server is connected to the internet and you can just search for the Putty download and install it.
