How to export/import PuTTy sessions list?

Question

Is there a way to do this?

Or I have to take manually every record from Registry?

Answer 1

Example:
How to transfer putty configuration and session configuration from one user account to another e.g. when created a new account and want to use the putty sessions/configurations from the old account

Process:
- Export registry key from old account into a file
- Import registry key from file into new account

Export reg key: (from OLD account)

1. Login into the OLD account e.g. tomold
2. Open normal 'command prompt' (NOT admin !)
3. Type 'regedit'
4. Navigate to registry section where the configuration is being stored e.g. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SimonTatham] and click on it
5. Select 'Export' from the file menu or right mouse click (radio ctrl 'selected branch')
6. Save into file and name it e.g. 'puttyconfig.reg'
7. Logout again

Import reg key: (into NEW account)

8. Login into NEW account e.g. tom

9. Open normal 'command prompt' (NOT admin !)

10. Type 'regedit'

11. Select 'Import' from the menu

12. Select the registry file to import e.g. 'puttyconfig.reg'

13. Done

Note:
Do not use an 'admin command prompt' as settings are located under '[HKEY_CURRENT_USER...] 'and regedit would run as admin and show that section for the admin-user rather then for the user to transfer from and/or to.
