I use PuTTY to connect to Ubuntu Server 12.04 from Windows 7 SP1, and during Ubuntu boot, I have tasks in various tty's.

  • When I log in using PuTTY, then issue tty, the response is /dev/pts/1
  • I have installed linuxvnc in Ubuntu, using RealVNC on Windows to view these tty's, but I prefer PuTTY because it has some issues.

Is there a way to log in directly to /dev/tty2, or failing that, switch to tty2 from within the current PuTTY session?

Use the screen command:

screen /dev/tty2
