How to make PuTTY settings persistent? [closed]
Solution 1:
Make your settings changes and then click on "Default Settings" under "Load, save or delete a stored session" (This is in the "Session" category) to select it. Then click "Save."
Solution 2:
I'm often bitten by that too.
What usually happen is, you set some options (usually just host/port) and save it.
Then latter you:
- open putty
- select your "saved session" (either by just selecting it by clicking on the name or selecting and clicking the load button[1])
- change some other options
- and connect by clicking the "Open" button
To make it work the way you expect, try doing it this way:
- open putty
- select the session you want to edit (click on its entry under the "Session" category)
- Click the "Load" button
- Make the changes you want to make
- Go back to the "Session" category
- Make sure the name of your saved session is correctly filled on the textbox for "Saved sessions"
- Click save
To change the default settings, just do the same, but selecting the "Default Settings" entry on the "Saved Sessions" list.
Hope that helps
