Configuring PuTTY for Windows 8 cmd shell prompt

1

Is there some recommended configuration / settings of PuTTY for Telnet connecting on Windows 8 shell/Telnet. I ask this because in default conf of PuTTY cursor behavior is little strange. e.g. with arrow keys I can move around the screen, listing of last commands for arrow up did not work.

What's the operating system or shell of the server? – golimar – 2014-10-02T12:41:02.223

My suggestion: Forget Telnet as quickly as possible (it's insecure and the Windows telnet server is no longer supported); and use SSH instead. Bitvise WinSSHd works correctly with arrow keys and even full-screen console programs.
