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
- For only sessions:
- To import, simply copy it to the new machine and double click the .reg file.
That’s All, Enjoy!
