Connecting SSH via Putty to IPv6

[michaelrall]

Hi there,

using an IPv6 in the URL-Field results in a "host not found"-message from putty.

After looking at the argument parsing code, it becomes clear, that an url with ":" is treated as IPv4:Port String and not recognized as IPv6-Adresse, so parsing goes wrong and in consequence the host-adress is obviously wrong.

Is there a special syntax to "escape" colons or any other method to supply a IPv6-Adress?

cheers

Michael

Hi,

I don't think so. The code assumes either IPv4 or IPv4:port meaning that IPv6 are not supported as you already found.
