I assume your question relates to using an SSH _client_ on a Linux
machine.

If your client machine is running Ubuntu Linux, you shouldn't need to
download stuff from the PuTTY website, as there is a packaged version
available for Ubuntu, in the "universe" repository, for instance:
<http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/net/putty>

?? Why would you use putty on Ubuntu? You already have openssh installed,
but server and client.
Ie, do not use putty on the Linux side. Use ssh.
