Import setting from locally installed versionwallzy - August 26, 2011 - 10:56am
I have putty installed on my laptop (Win7) which is configured with many many server connections. I installed Putty portable on a USB drive because I thought it would be useful should I not have my laptop and need to access servers from another computer. Is there an easy way to export all the setting in my current Putty set-up on my local machine to the portable version installed on my USB drive? ( categories: )

Export from registry
What you need to do is export the settings from the registry.
regedit(type it into the search box in the start menu and press enter).HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham.X:\PortableApps\PuTTYPortable\Data\putty.reg(considering the path where you have PuTTY Portable installed).After that it should work. You may need to update some paths; I'm not sure.

Exporting PuTTY Settings from Windows 7 Registry
I'm using Windows 7 and PortableApps v10.0.1 and I got this to work after making a slight adjustment to step 4 of Chris's instructions:
regeditHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTathamFile > Export...X:\PortableApps\PuTTYPortable\Data\settings\putty.regAh, yes
Sorry about that. It should indeed be in the "settings" subdirectory.
