Hi there...
How do I open a terminal in xbmclive? I used to use an application called putty on my PC but i am at a friends house trying to help him set it up but he only has a copy of xubuntu...
How can I open a terminal window in xbmclive either on the system itself or from a xubuntu computer
Thanks in advance

terminal is the app which is pretty straight forward. Tghers also putty linux ports, google for how to.
google ssh via terminal or use a putty linux port.
In Linux I use terminal and windows putty.

yes, but ssh in terminal didn't want to do what I, its master, said when I had to use it.
Furthermore putty does exists in linux. Consult google or consider if it perhaps is case sensitive. I dont remember the details, but it installed without problem.

This is the Unix port of the popular Windows ssh client, PuTTY. It supports flexible terminal setup, mid-session reconfiguration using Ctrl-rightclick,
multiple X11 authentication protocols, and various other interesting things not provided by ssh in an xterm.
And ssh via Terminal does everything the MASTER wants, unless master is making mistakes.
