Limitations
Note the following restrictions for steering PuTTY controls:
-
PuTTY applications don't support cursor positioning. When you steer TextBoxes with ActionMode Input, Tricentis Tosca places the text in the currently active position in the terminal.
-
PuTTY applications don't support table manipulation. When you steer Tables, you can't use ActionMode Input.
-
When you steer your PuTTY application, make sure that the window size is the same as when you scanned it.
-
PuTTY doesn't detect passwords. When you send passwords over PuTTY, use DataType Password to protect them.
