The colours are determined by the file type and permissions. I change the blue within Putty's "Window->color->ANSI Blue" Settings. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of sunhux G Sent: Friday, 20 June 2008 2:56 p.m. To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: what does putty's different text colors of files/folders mean & howto disable Hi, When I "ssh" into our Linux boxes using freeware putty, when listing out files, some files are painted in red text, some in blue text & white. What does the color code mean & how can I change them or disable them. Blue is highly unreadable. The very same putty ssh into Solaris & HP-UX boxes doesn't give rise to these colors.
