My public IP address is something like :
2605:e000:161f:4051:c4e2:d45a:2e5f:f31a
How do I use this into Putty to log in to my Ubuntu server? A straight copy/paste is not working.
I used to have an ipv4 address (8.8.8.8) and copy/paste worked fine.
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!

[2605:e000:161f:4051:c4e2:d45a:2e5f:f31a] - it goes on to say that only works for local network stuff. I dunno.
Don't know if that works or not. Haven't used putty in years. The docs from the author doesn't have any mention of IPv6 support. Elsewhere on the internet, there is mention of IPv6 and settings to toggle support. There is an "auto" setting which claims to do the expected thing. Don't know the connection between these different "putty" versions/docs.

--Might want to make sure you have the latest version of putty...
--Also, I don't know if you have admin rights to install programs, but you might want to give MobaXterm a try if putty isn't working for you.
