How to transfer Putty.exe’s setting to other computers

Tweet

Don’t know why putty.exe doesn’t provide easy way to handle configuration file and settings. Well, I guess there are some reasonable reason for developer, but it is definitely troublesome to transfer configuration and setting. Especially, if you have a lot of sessions that is pre-configured as network admin. Transferring configuration is only one complaint for me. However, there are way to transfer setting , so do not complain it unless you have donated some bucks.

See below procedure to complete migrating your configuration and setting. Basically, exporting and merging a s/w registry of putty.exe.

 

 

 

1. Open registry editor

 

2. Find a registry for Putty software. Registry name is shown developer’s name, Simon Tatham. Go to your redistry and locate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham

 

 

3. Right click on your mouse, and click "export"

 

4. Write a file name as "putty.reg". (you can name it whatever you want *.reg)

 

5. And copy the file(putty.reg in this case) to new PC or workstation

6. Right click on you mouse, and choose "Merge"

 

7. When below window popped up, click "yes"

 

8. Confirmation window, click "ok"

 

9. Execute putty.exe. Now you can see all your setting and configuration. I hope this is informative for you.
