What about the other Putty Apps?

The rest of the apps in the putty "suite" are as useful.
Any plans on supporting them or any suggestions on this issue?

Regards

i've played a little to try to get psftp to work, and it seems to work fine if you rename it to putty.exe. it uses one of the same registry keys that putty uses.

correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems the launcher merely does a merge with your setting.reg file before launching putty, then a backup/remove of "HKCU\Software\Simon Tatham" and saves it back to the settings.reg file. So, assuming the other apps all use the same registy key, the other apps should also work fine if renamed.

Which other apps in the

Which other apps in the putty suite are you interested in? I recompiled the launcher the work with psftp, and placed it in the same directory as the launcher for putty. It seems to work fine. For the launcher code, all that I changed were the !define for the lines NAME, FULLNAME, APP, and DEFAULTEXE.

The only problem I see with it is running the programs concurrently, you would wipe out any local settings in the registry. And settings might not be saved back out correctly.

Anything else I might not have thought of John?

Using the application template on pageant

I used the application portable template to compile for pageant with a few modifications to accomplish the following.

  1. The correct name 'Pageant Portable' would come up on the menu.
  2. The program would reside in the correct putty folder.
  3. The private keys could be stored in the data folder with the keys loading automatically by inclusion in the INI file parametersettings.

It works great except one issue. Pageant is capable of running putty but the registry settings are such that the current settings for the putty installed on the machine are what is used and not the settings used by the portable putty. I'm not technically savvy enough to see a way to fix this except in modifying the source code of putty itself, which I'm not about to do. It is easy enough to open up putty and then load the saved session that I want to load.

Might be worth checking out the Xming Portable PuTTY. It uses files for session storage instead of the registry.
