Exporting PuTTY Configuration and Saved Sessions

PuTTY stores its settings in the Windows registry.


To save a backup of your PuTTY settings, you'll need to export the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham registry key to a file.   To export saved sessions to a file run the following comands:

• For Windows XP:

regedit /e c:\putty.reg “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham"

• For Windows 7:

reg export HCKU\Software\SimonTatham c:\putty.reg

After this the putty.reg file has been created in your C:\ drive, copy it to the destination host and double-click it to import.
