Tunnels not saving

Submitted by erunaheru on September 10, 2008 - 9:14am

Tunnels that I create show up in the window, but when a session is opened they have no effect, and when I restart the program they are gone. If I run putty.exe instead of puttyportable.exe (and leave permanent registry entries), it works.

Oh, and by the way, my sessions save fine, just not the tunnels.

Work around

Figured out how to work around this using command line options, but I am still curious as to what the problem actually is.

Work around?

Can you share what your work around was?

At a command prompt

PuTTYPortable.exe -L [local port]:[remote address]:[remote port] -load [session] -l [remote login] -pw [remote password]

for example to forward port 8080 on the local computer to port 80 on the remote computer: -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80

or to forward 8080 on the local computer to port 80 on a computer with IP 192.168.1.1 that is accessible to the remote computer: -L 8080:192.168.1.1:80

and if you don't like putting your login or password in at the prompt, just leave them off and it will ask for them normally.
