So is putty really the only way to solve this problem when using Windows?
I thought I might be able to avoid this problem by using powershell, but I was wrong:

[procaddie]

Now I have the almost same problem. How did you solve it?

[rsignell-usgs]

I never solved it. Just gave up. 😢

[procaddie]

Only three of us faced this problem? I google it. But what I found about it was only this page. How do windows-users use the Starcluster???

[hitblz]

Recently I encountered the same problem, too.

Have you solved this problem now? @sebastien-bratieres, @rsignell-usgs , @procaddie .
