Always use `[email protected]` instead of `server.com` Well that works. But for people who really use darcs/PuTTY on Windows, I think standard practice is to use the name of a PuTTY "Saved Session" that contains both a host and a user name. The important point is, as you say, to ensure that all required information is specified up front. That way, all communication through PuTTY is directly with the remote darcs process and not with PuTTY itself. > Comments?

The only real solution is to get a GUI like TortoiseDarcs working again. That is the kind of interface expected by Windows users, and that's what they typically use for any other popular VCS.
