Seems like he is using something like this:
http://www.csoft.net/docs/micro/winssh.html.en
as a starting point and misunderstanding what the how-to is saying.
universalbitmapper:
you just need to have an account on your debian box (a non-root account
that you made on login, most likely) and enter that in Putty. Putty wil
also let you configue a profile, so that you can have that account name
and server ip address saved for future reference, this is where the
csoft gets mentioned several times, and might be what you are confused
about. Hope it helps.
