    Another tip, sharing for everyone’s benefit. How to Combine this feature with Putty Windows CLI feature:

    1. Go to Windows > Run > cmd

    2. Set path for putty command
    set path=C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY

    3. Now run putty using this command:
    putty -l username -pw password hostname.companyname.com

    4. Voila, thanks to Viktor’s tip, each session will now be logged with a unique filename.

    Thus you just need to change the hostnames each time, and you can get a seamless experience while doing bulk putty tasks.

    Is it possible to change it from the host name to the session Name i have different hosts that i connect to and it would be nice to tell which one i am looking at by the Saved session name
    Example
    Host = admin@10.6.X.X
    Saved session = ARP entry

    here’s something that you can try.

    go into registry and look at the following.

    REG
    HKCU\software\SimonTathatm\PuTTY\Sessions\

    in here are the profiles stored.

    you can easily create a profile called test and modify it to your liking.

    once you make it, go to this location in registry. delete the default profile called “Default%20Settings” and rename your test profile to “Default%20Settings” tis way if you export the newly modified profile.. you can basically take your settings with you.

    I use PuTTY for communication with devices over a serial connection. How do I get PuTTY to log my keyboard strokes in addition to what my device sends to the screen? For example, when I use my arrow up key, it logs everything happening on the screen but does not log the escape sequence for my arrow up key.

    Still works! 6 years later 🙂 I copied putty.exe to c:\windows\system32 and pinned to taskbar to avoid touching the PATH settings.
