PuTTY Portable 0.5.9 Pre-Release![]() Submitted by John T. Haller on February 14, 2007 - 2:08pm
I've posted a pre-release of PuTTY Portable for folks to try out. PuTTY is an SSH/Telnet client that lets you securely connect in to your server. I created this one for myself for work I was doing on the PortableApps.com site and realized I hadn't yet posted it, so here it is. It backs up and restores the local PuTTY settings stored in the PC's registry. It uses the new move/copy methods I introduced in Miranda IM Portable so that the local settings are never moved out of the registry, just moved aside while the portable one is running. (Even if the PC crashes, you can just fire up any copy of PuTTY Portable, even a blank one, and the settings are properly restored.) I know about PortaPutty, but I figured I'd post this as an option for folks that want to use the standard Putty builds (maybe even trying one of the newer test builds). putty.exe is UPXed to save space. The putty.chm help file is included, but you can remove it to save another 400K of space. Even with the help file, launcher and AppInfo, PuTTY Portable is only 738K. The other PuTTY commandline utilities are not included with this package. ( categories: )

I don't,
suppose that there is going to be a copy of WinSCP to go with it?

Oh yes.
WinSCP Portable would definitely be <3. I always just stuck it and PuTTY right on my USB thumb drive though, didn't think either needed anything special.
Also, when using UPX, the --lzma flag often gets better compression ratios than the --best flag (on putty it's better by 20kb), fyi John.
I made the PortableApps.com front page! HIRE ME.
One small thing...
The ini file

ProfilesDirectory=Data\profiles
MirandaExecutable=miranda32.exe

He he,
that'll be the good old copy and paste bug, you haven't done that for ages John

Well,
Well, argh. At least it's just up as a pre-release.
(PS - Yes, I'm writing you an email. For reals. I'm sorry it's taken me like 2.5 weeks to respond to you.)
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Wow,
must be a long e-mail

Nice
On that subject, John, you still haven't emailed me
