Data execute a program remotely using putty

hi all.

I have a small program on a debian server which i need to execute remotely from a windows machine using putty.

when i use putty to execute the program it starts running , but when i close the session the program stops running on the debian server as well.

Can anyone guide me how to let the program run after i close the putty session?

Thanks.Smilie
