How to configure Cyberduck to point to PuTTY (Windows 7)?

[GEO]

This help page indicates that you can edit the user.config file to
change the path to PuTTY from the home folder

"By default, the executable putty.exe must be located in your user
home folder. You can change the install location by editing the hidden
configuration option terminal.command.ssh to point to the path of the
executable."
( http://trac.cyberduck.ch/wiki/help/en/howto/sftp )

However, when I try to add the setting to the user.config XML, like
so:


<setting name="CdSettings" serializeAs="Xml">
<value>
<settings>
<setting name="terminal.command.ssh"
value="C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" />

Cyberduck simply strips it out when I restart. I assume that means
it's malformed in some way. The file path is given using the same
format as used by editor.bundleidentifier, so I don't think that's the
problem. Does the help text give the wrong setting name?

Thanks!

Make sure that you edit the file when Cyberduck is _not_ running.

Thanks, that was indeed the problem.

I've now got PuTTY launching from the Cyberduck toolbar, but it's not
working as I expected it to. Basically, I was led to try the PuTTY
thing by the tickets (e.g., http://trac.cyberduck.ch/ticket/3739) that
suggest that this is the only current way to su to an account with
write acces (my server doesn't allow direct login to accounts with
write access). Given that, I assumed that PuTTY launched in this way
would give me access to the same connection I'm using in Cyberduck,
but in fact it opens a new one, and while I can su over to the
superuser account, I can't take advantage of Cyberduck's seamless
editing. I might as well just use (laborious, tiresome) telnet and
forget about (simple, clean) Cyberduck.

Is there any way to su to a new user from an existing session in
Cyberduck?

Thanks!
