Putty - Clear the Scrollback Buffer

SUMMARY: Clear Putty's temporary log of your terminal window activities.

Putty's scrollback buffer is quite useful in displaying the results of previous commands or for copying a session to the clipboard for pasting in another program.

If you want, you can clear the scrollback buffer before entering a particular remote command, so that when you select, copy, and paste the scrollback buffer, only the results of your recent remote command are stored in the buffer. Just right-click the Putty menu bar in your current session and choose "Clear Scrollback".

 

Press the "print" button on your browser or select "File" - "Print" to print this tip. Then, return to Putty - Clear the Scrollback Buffer
