How Do I Export PuTTY from Windows 10?

Published in PuTTY Configuration 1 min read

You can export your PuTTY sessions from Windows 10 by exporting the relevant registry key. Here's how:

  1. Open the Registry Editor: Press Windows key + R, type regedit.exe, and press Enter. You may need to grant administrative permissions.

  2. Navigate to the PuTTY Sessions Key: In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following location using the left-hand pane:

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions

  3. Export the Sessions Key:

    • Right-click on the Sessions folder in the left pane.
    • Select Export.
  4. Save the Exported File:

    • Choose a location to save the file.
    • Give the file a name (e.g., putty_sessions.reg).
    • Ensure the "Save as type" is set to "Registration Files (*.reg)".
    • Click Save.

This will create a .reg file containing all your saved PuTTY sessions. You can then import this file on another machine or keep it as a backup. To import, simply double-click the .reg file and follow the prompts to add the information to the registry.
