I don’t know about you, but I tend to work from a number of different computers, most of them Windows based devices. Having to remember everything for all my Linux servers can become a bit overwhelming, and when the time comes that I have to either migrate system settings or configure a new device, Putty settings is always something that seems to get lost in transition. With a little search and destroy, I found a way to easily migrate your Putty Session list for import on another device.

First, you need to open a command prompt with escalated privileges. Simply Right Click and Choose Run as Administrator
at the command prompt, type the following:
- For only sessions: regedit /e "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\putty-sessions.reg" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions
- For all settings: regedit /e "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\putty.reg" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham
To import, simply copy it to the new machine and double click the .reg file.

That’s All, Enjoy!

Share Your WiFi Password With a QR CODE

Sharing your WiFi with friends and family can quickly become a major annoyance. In my household, my son's friends are constantly asking for me to enter the WiFi details so they can hop on and suck the life out of my wireless network. Grabbing each device or phone, navigating the menus, and then typing in my very complex WiFi password is a pain. With a little help from a QR Code, you can sit back, relax, and just point to a QR Code hanging on the wall.
