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?

Accepted Answer

Export

`cmd.exe`, requires elevated prompt due to regedit:

Only sessions (produces file `putty-sessions.reg` on the Desktop):

```
regedit /e "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\putty-sessions.reg" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions
```

All settings except ssh keys (produces file `putty.reg` on the Desktop):

```
regedit /e "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\putty.reg" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham
```

Powershell:

Only sessions (produces file `putty-sessions.reg` on the Desktop):

```
reg export HKCU\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions ([Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop") + "\putty-sessions.reg")
```

All settings except ssh keys (produces file `putty.reg` on the Desktop):

```
reg export HKCU\Software\SimonTatham ([Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop") + "\putty.reg")
```

Import

Double-click on the `*.reg` file and accept the import.

Alternative ways:

`cmd.exe`, requires elevated command prompt:

```
regedit /i putty-sessions.reg
regedit /i putty.reg
```

PowerShell:

```
reg import putty-sessions.reg
reg import putty.reg
```

Note: do not replace `SimonTatham` with your username.

Note: These commands will not export the related SSH keys.
