In this article, we will discuss the appearance changes we all would love to have in the PuTTY application. PuTTY by default has very small text and it is challenging for those with visibility challenges.

Supplies

We will need the following:

A CentOS on PC/Laptop (or) a Virtual Machine
A Microsoft Windows machine with PuTTY installed on it

Step 1: Checking IP Address of CentOS

There are many situations where the PC/Laptop hosting the CentOS VM is moved from one location to the other, thereby there is always a chance that the PC/Laptop connects to a new DHCP Server. In such scenarios, the IP address will not remain the same. It is suggested that the IT Administrator checks the IP address with the commands as shown in the screenshot.

Step 2: IP Address Changes to PuTTY

Depending on the changes to the IP address, configure PuTTY to have the same IP Address and proceed with the next steps.

Step 3: Apply Appearance Changes (Especially Font Size)

The reader is advised to see take the necessary help from the attached screenshots and make changes to the appearance accordingly

Step 4:

With this, we complete the "Appearance Changes" to PuTTY. Let us move ahead with the rest configurations. We will now see the basic configuration of CentOS 7 machine as a Web Server.
