ConEmu: How to attach PuTTY

I have been trying to open a new PuTTY window inside as one of ConEmu Tab, but no success so far, I've tried many combinations.

putty.exe -cur_console:b -ssh USER@DOMAIN 22 -pw PASSWORD
putty.exe -new_console -ssh USER@DOMAIN 22 -pw PASSWORD
ConEmu.exe /single /cmd putty.exe -cur_console:b -ssh USER@DOMAIN 22 -pw PASSWORD
ConEmuC.exe /ATTACH /ROOT putty.exe -cur_console:b -ssh USER@DOMAIN 22 -pw PASSWORD

what will happen is putty will be open in a new window outside ConEmu

Solution 1:

I had the same issue, as I installed PUTTY by chocolatey.
In this case, if you call PUTTY, it will run the shim from the chocolatey\bin folder, and not the real exe.

As I put the whole path into the task, PUTTY appeared within the ConEmu window:

C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\putty.portable\tools\PUTTY.EXE -load "saved session"

Solution 2:

I had the same problem with putty launching a new window even when I was able to get notepad to work correctly and found your question in looking for a solution. I was later able to solve the problem as per below.

In the settings dialog for your command, under task parameters provide the following:

/dir <full path to your instance of putty>

Then in the Commands box provide something like this:

putty.exe -cur_console -ssh USER@DOMAIN 22 -pw PASSWORD

This should work. In my case I'm using something more along the lines of this:

putty.exe -cur_console -load <profile name>

If you want something you can just type in on the command line then something like this should work:

putty.exe -new_console:d"C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\PuTTY" -ssh USER@DOMAIN 22 -pw PASSWORD

Solution 3:

What worked for me is the full path inside quotes

"C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\putty.exe" -load "your_session_Name"

Any thing else opened putty in a seperate window.

ConEmu version: 160724 32 bit. PuTTY Release 0.67 32 bit

Solution 4:

Just created a new ConEmu task with the following command:

PUTTY.EXE -cur_console -ssh <Login>@<HostAddress> -pw <Password>

works like a charm.
