Transfer Putty Settings From a Windows Putty Client to a Linux Putty Client - SSH

unix · #1 10-03-2007, 04:10 AM

Is there a way to transfer all of the settings and sessions that I have
setup in my windows Putty client to a Putty client on a Linux system?

Last time I looked, there was no Putty for a Linux system. It's a
shame, because I rathre like the client and wish it was available for
Linux/BSD/Other open source systems.

A source tarball for Unix PuTTY has been on the website since around
2003. It lacks its own agent (though it interoperates seamlessly
with OpenSSH's ssh-agent), but the rest is all there.

Good: what a nice way to be shown wrong, since you're the current
maintainer for that packge. Would you mind if I RPM bundled it and sent
Fedora Core a note? Or do they already have it?

Not at all. Feel free.

I've no idea, I'm afraid; I'm a Debian-oriented person myself. I
know Debian have had it for a while.

Cheers,
Simon

I am running Fedora Core 6, and it is already prepackaged. BTW, I am
guessing that there is no way to transfer my settings from my Windows
system to my Linux system?

Thanks,
Jon

There's no standard means at present, I'm afraid, although I don't
imagine it ought to be too difficult to write a piece of Perl which
would convert a Windows registry dump file into the appropriate
format for Unix PuTTY.

Some of the settings only make sense on one platform, of course, so
the conversion wouldn't be perfect; but it would save most of the
effort.
