Can't get WinSCP working
The WinSCP log has a line that I don't understand. It says:
Linode Shell (lish) Console starting…
< 2008-09-24 17:55:47.904 [linode12618@dallas96 lish] Must be connected to a terminal.
< 2008-09-24 17:55:47.904 Your Linode isn't running, or another console session is already active.
Then I get numerous "standard input: Invalid argument". Anyway, this is the WinSCP log file:

You want to be doing this with your Linode's IP address. Not "dallas96.linode.com". dallas96 is the host your Linode resides on.
The Linode's IP address is located on its Network page, next to "eth0".
BTW. You also should be using the Linode's IP address to ssh into when accessing via Putty. The console really is only there for emergencies.
