problem with using the console through PuTTY on VPS

[ew000ny]

So I have a problem, I launch my server using screen, I type in screen -s ftb, then the server launches. As it has fully loaded, I can use the console, then I try to turn off putty and turn it on, everything's okay, then after a minute, after connecting to the server, I try to put something into the console and press enter, but that just doesn't do anything, even tho I'm on the screen.

is the server still running after you run the command? and the log file would be a great help,

Personal Opinion

I use tmux over screen, i dont rember why but tmux works quite well with minecraft and many applications (honestly if i didnt need a stupid terminal acess point for people i would just use tmux)

also some info that may be of use

OS:
RAM:
Anything Special about this vps?:

Are you using the screen command to reconnect to the minecraft console? Are you aware of how to connect/disconnect/recconnect to it properly or are you just trying to run it again? Here is condensed version of the commands I use for screen

• screen -list lists all of the sceen sessions and their status
• screen -r [name] reconnect to a screen using the name. If you only have one screen session it should just reconnect to that one
• ctrl-a then "d" key while in a screen looing at your minecraft console use ctrl-a followed by the "d" to disconnect from the screen - this is the proper way of leaving the screen before you disconnect putty.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

@NocturnalSergal for my own personal interesting I'm doing some reading about tmux now. But one question I have that I can't seem to find an answer for is this. Can you insert command/text into a tmux session? For example right now with screen I have cron jobs setup to start/stop/restart and backup my minecraft server. These all work by injecting command from the cron script into the screen session.
