Need putty to work on /dev/ttyUSB0

I know for a fact that the port (console on a switch) is 9600 8/n/1, so it should be simple.

The default serial port settings are listed below: How to Connect to Serial Console. In order to connect to the console you will need to use the following items/programs: 1. Open the terminal emulator and specify the serial COM line and the baud rate/speed.

ttyUSB0 shows up in dmesg.

• PuTTY also enables you to connect to a device attached to the serial port on the computer, sending typed commands to the serial device and displaying the reply. This is useful for debugging networking hardware equipped with serial ports, or connecting to microcontrollers and other electronics devices.

So shouldn't I be able to select /dev/ttyUSB0 in putty's serial configuration and it should work.

This is how I started it:

Any suggestions?
