PuTTY – PuTTY is a terminal emulation application which helps connecting to your networking devices via different networking protocols for example: telnet, SSH, Rlogin etc. You can use PuTTY to connect networking devices via serial port too. PuTTY saves the session information in Windows registry. We are going to discuss how to transfer PuTTY sessions from one PC to another in this post.
The picture below shows the saved PuTTY sessions ( Firewall 1, Switch 1, Switch 2, Switch3, Switch 4)
TRANSFER PuTTY SESSIONS FROM ONE PC TO ANOTHER

- Launch the registry
START —> RUN —> type REGEDIT.EXE - Browse the below registry location:
“Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions” - Right click on Sessions and select Export

IMPORT SAVED PUTTY SESSIONS TO ANOTHER PC
- Transfer\move the saved “putty sessions.reg” file to the desired Windows machine. Double click on the file and you will find below message. Hit YES to accept the message.
