Commands in PuTTy are unresponsive
I have successfully connected to my server via puTTy and I am entering commands but they are unresponsive. I do not know what is wrong.

If you are using PuTTY, and get an apparently freezed screen, you could have accidentally pressed ctrl + s. This sends an Xoff signal blocking the terminal's output.
The solution is to press ctrl + q to send the Xonsignal.
