+\S{faq-server} Will you write an SSH server for the PuTTY suite, to
+go with the client?
+
+No. The only reason we might want to would be if we could easily
+re-use existing code and significantly cut down the effort. We don't
+believe this is the case; there just isn't enough common ground
+between an SSH client and server to make it worthwhile.

+If someone else wants to use bits of PuTTY in the process of writing
+a Windows SSH server, they'd be perfectly welcome to of course, but
+I really can't see it being a lot less effort for us to do that than
+it would be for us to write a server from the ground up. We don't
+have time, and we don't have motivation. The code is available if
+anyone else wants to try it.

+\S{faq-tunnels} How do I use X forwarding and port forwarding? I
+can't find the Tunnels panel.

+If you're looking in the 0.51 release or earlier, the Tunnels panel

+\S{faq-options} How do I use all PuTTY's features (port forwarding,
+SSH v2 etc) in Plink?
+
+Plink is currently rather short of command line options to enable
+this sort of thing. You can use these features if you create a PuTTY
+saved session, and then use the name of the saved session on Plink's
+command line in place of a hostname.
