I’m confused. Do you have to download the exe from http://www.putty.org first?

I already finished the installation, everything looks good but i need to wait few days after test that, but im pretty sure this can work without problem.

Hi Kathleen! To use the actual function keys, just hold down the ‘function’ key (“FN”, bottom left of your keyboard) and press whichever F[1-12] key you need (ie. FN+F4 etc.).

In my system settings I have selected the option for the F keys to function as F1, F2 etc. They work up to F8. I have had this problem with other VPN and emulation programs. Is there a key combination or work around for this. Thank you.
