when i start putty on a server i get the promp like below:
hpbl802!benjaminb:~ [22]>
How can i change this prompt to
benjamin:~ [22]>
It s not Putty, it s your shell that gives you the prompt. If you are using bash, try:
PS1= benjamin:w [!]>
export PS1
If that works, you can add the two lines to your $HOME/.bashrc on the server.

If your shell is not bash, you need to tell us what shell it is. The easiest way is to type a non-existent command on the command-line:
$ 42
-bash: 42: command not found
The above tells me that my shell is bash.
