Ubuntu putty and serial port

Need putty to work on /dev/ttyUSB0

I know for a fact that the port (console on a switch) is 9600 8/n/1, so it should be simple.

ttyUSB0 shows up in dmesg.

So shouldn't I be able to select /dev/ttyUSB0 in putty's serial configuration and it should work.

Works fine when I'm running putty with windows. Doesn't work with Ubuntu/putty. I get no response.

This is how I started it:

putty -serial -sercfg 9600,8,n,1,N

Any suggestions?

sudo putty /dev/ttyUSB0 -serial -sercfg 9600,8,n,1,N

worked for me

I use minicom. To install minicom use command

sudo apt-get install minicom

Start minicom setup with command

xxx@yyy ~ $ sudo minicom -s

You will get setup menu

go to Serial port setup

Change Serial Device

Change Bps/Par/Bits

After changes hit Enter

Save setings

Go to Exit to exit from setup in minicom

You minicom is ready
