Oh, that can be! All your local keyboard activity is stolen by putty 
and transferred to the remote debian system. What (remote, debian?) 
Emacs receives is filtered by the shell and its TERM setting (as with 
my Emacs on Mac OS X which cannot distinguish between fn and S-Fn).

I think you either need to find a terminal emulation on the debian 
system that knows to make a difference between Fn and Shift-Fn, and/or 
you need to teach putty to send too the 'modified' keyboard event. This 
can be a second cause. I think starting with DEC vt320 or using xterm 
you might become a happy human ... But: I just tried an Emacs in an 
xterm. It receives two different key events, what you can prove in 
*scratch* buffer by typing C-q and then pressing the F or Shift-F key. 
You might see two different ANSI strings starting with Esc (or '^[') 
each, as I do, but my Emacs, running without windows in xterm, does not 
look up two different key bindings. So it's Emacs itself that needs to 
be set up better, I mean, by loading TERM specific Elisp files?

Do you see in your remote Emacs two different events? I presume before 
you tested in Losedows ...
