Tip of the Day: How to Transfer PuTTY Settings to Another Computer

Users of PuTTY, the popular SSH client, can transfer PuTTY’s rather extensive settings to another Windows PC by saving them in a registry file and merging the file with the local registry of the other computer, in three easy steps.

Step 1. Find the registry key on your local computer

In your registry editor, this is the key that you are looking for:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SimonTatham
PuTTY settings in Windows 10 registry
PuTTY settings in Windows 10 registry

Step 2. Save the key in a .reg file

Save this key and all information contained in it in a .reg file on your computer.
