I know how to do it from UI (I use it regularly), but I hoped to put it into my batch file that cleans up all disconnected putty windows after VPN failure.. That would speed up recovery by several (3?) clicks ;) thanks for quick answer
Hi Jarek Sorry - no command line support for that - you can do it from the ui by right clicking on a folder and using "Launch Folder" or "Launch Folder and Subfolders", or select the parent folder and press "Enter" or "Ctrl+Enter" to launch folders (and subfolders) respectively.
Hi, I wonder if it is possible to run a sessions' tree or branch from PSM from the command line? Are there any control switches like 'depth' or 'exclude'? Rgds, -- Jarek Banachowicz

Hello, gentlemen I am currently using Putty to be able to turn off OLED display on MOTU Ultralite-MK5, and I was referred to your software by MOTU's team. I was able to set up a shortcut that will bring up Terminal profile, and I have target of that shortcut set up as: "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" -load "MOTU" Is there a way to execute an actual terminal command within 1 click, such as creating a shortcut that will trigger that MOTU profile, and then have a Terminal command of "oledpower 0"...
I am debugging a Honeywell Hawk8000 through Putty, but the only thing that appears in the Putty window is "ccccccc" and then nothing. I cant write anything at all in the window either. I dont find anything online to what might cause this. Have anyone encountered anything similar?

Dear PuTTY Session Manager team, @dmrpsm, It is possible to add the code on GitHub to have a best developement, visibility, contributions, ... After, you can add a "move" box like https://sourceforge.net/projects/handbrake for example. Example, WinMerge is now here, after several places and the developement is good: - https://github.com/winmerge Thanks in advance.

I am getting this error when trying to log in to switches from putty connection manager. Normally I can say yes to the error and it will store the rsa key in the putty register, but it is not accepting yes when clicked. I can log in using regular putty, just not connection manager. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PSM fails upon connection attempt
No problems - the file you were looking at was probably the one that holds the defaults for first launch
...and yet you were right, the config file I showed you above has the correct value, but the "options" menu you wrote had the incorrect setting. It's really strange but, hey, now it works. Thanks a lot!
Could you screenshot the options box for me, eg:
I don't think so. In my config file I see this segment: <setting name="PuttyLocation" serializeas="String"> <value>C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\putty.exe</value> </setting>
If you go to the system tray and right click on the PSM icon, select options - you should be able to correct it in there. Or right click on some white space below the tree, and select options.
If you go to the system try and right click on the PSM icon, select options - you should be able to correct it in there. Or right click on some white space below the tree, and select options.
You're probably right, where can I fix this? I uninstall PSM and reinstall it, and it never asks me the question, and when I start it it remembers the tree structure for my sessions, so apparently the uninstall doesn't do a clean job, and part of it is the incorrect path that persists.... The PSM folder is removed from Program Files (86) but the registry may be corrupted....
I think you have pointed the option for "Locate putty.exe" to PuttyGen.exe - it should be something like: "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" - not "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\puttygen.exe"

Hi Team, I have a ssh link in a HTML that when I click on it will open a putty session. However, what I find when I move to the next putty links and click on it, it always opens the previous putty session. Any suggested fixes for this? An example Linux Utility Server
My Putty session Mangers is blank. I have saved sessions in putty but can't seem to get them into Session Manager. The window from putty.exe is tool small to see all my session choices and I'd like to be able to see mare and organize them but I can't seem to find instructions or documentation on how to get that first session in Putty session manager.

Hi, I'm able to connect to an sftp server, and confirm connectivity by listing the root folders. But I was wondering if there's a more direct way to validate connectivity, without examining the Folder strings. We're doing this, in VBScript, redirecting the output to a string which is then parsed.
I'm trying to connect to my router through Putty. Someone put Vlans on my router and I want to know who is connecting to my router. Someone also put static routes up on my computer. I feel like I'm getting blocked on the connection to PuTTY. I want to do this through SSH and no interactive user or com port. The PuTTY download I've recently downloaded does not look like the one I see on YouTube Video's. It looks like it is more out of date. I think it is getting manipulated on the install. MTPuTTY...

Thanks David, your answer it much appreciated. Unfortunately, I do not wish to completely disable the "Windows Default Beep", nor turn off my sound completely. I guess I will have to bear the sound, unless someone come up with another idea to disable the sound or replace the call to "system.diagnostic.process" with something else which doesn't produce a sound. Sincerely, Stéphane
Hi Thanks for the report - I have reproduced it (although it was not something I had noticed before). It appears that when PSM launches a process, this triggers a "Windows Default Beep" sound. You can disable this sound in the sounds preferences, but this would turn off all "Beep" sounds for all applications. This is the API used to launch the Process: system.diagnostics.process - however unfortunately - I can't find anyway to disable the windows sound generated when this is called. Happy to take...
Hi, When I use PuTTY Session Manager to open any new session, there is a bell sound played each time. At first I though it was PuTTY doing this, but when I use PuTYY instead of PSM, there is no sound played when opening a new session. I tried to find options in PSM for that, but did not find any. I even searched for hidden options using "regedit", and did not find any. Does anyone know of a way to silence PSM when starting new sessions (short of turning off all sound of my PC of course)? If not,...
No worries - FYI, that feature was added to support desktop environments where the system tray was disabled or hidden (eg certain Remote Desktop environments)
I un-checked "Show in taskbar", and now it works the way it was workng before. The icon is in the tray, and when I open a session, the pop-up menu goes away. And I just realized that the toggle says "taskbar", not "tray". So this was probably my fault. :) Thank you for your assistance.
What happens if you uncheck "Show in taskbar"? I'm running Win 10 1809, I'll update to 1909 and let you know if that makes a difference for me.
Putty Session manager version 0.50.189.0 Windows 10 Pro version 1909 Under Options > General, the following are checked: - Start on logon - Confirm on exit - Show in taskbar - Minimize on startup - Auto minimize - Always on top "Minimize on startup" still works: when I start the computer, PSM is minimized and in the taskbar. But once I use it, it will no longer minimize to the taskbar. Not automatically, and not manually.

Hi Brandon Can you confirm which version of PSM you are using and what OS version you have? There is a "Show in Taskbar" option available - is this ticked or not? You can also try resetting the settings, look in : C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\uk\PuTTY_Session_Manager.exe_Url[randomstring][version]\user.config If you delete the file, it will reset to default ( but you'll have to reset all your options ). Kind Regards David
Sorry, not sure this is right place for that question

I have been using PSM for many years, and I find it invaluable. Recently -- just in the past week or two -- it has started exhibiting a behaviour I can't explain.

That last part doesn't happen anymore: PSM minimizes, but only to its icon on the task bar. The task bar icon stays right there. It no longer minimizes...

I'm trying to login and reboot a device using telnet, so here is what i'm using without the result i'm looking for: command prompt: c:\putty.exe -telnet root@192.168.1.100 -m c:\putty.txt with putty.txt containing: root reboot the "root" is the login that needs to be entered once the session is open and then the "reboot" is to restart the device. I get the session to open fine but the commands don't happen, and no errors either?????? This is my first texperience using putty for such a task.
No way to close PSM?!!
Sorry - said taskbar icon, meant system tray icon, see screenshot
Found it: In Connection > Data: Auto-login username, I had to change "joe" to "root", since the public key is only available in root's .ssh/ sub-dir. And after removing the passphrase to the private key and hitting Start instead of Open, I can 1) log on 2) without having to type anything :-) As to what the difference is between Open and Start, and why the former fails with "Unable to open connection to myserver. gethostbyname: unknown error"… HTH,

Does not work. In Windows 10 there is no "Exit" on the taskbar icon. Instead, the choices are: - PuTTY Session Manager - Pin to Task Bar - Close Window Right click on app header gives the usual - Close (Alt-F4)
Hi - that's not something that PSM currently offers - it doesn't interact with Putty after it's been launched. You could have a look at KiTTY - http://www.9bis.net/kitty/?page=Shortcuts%20for%20pre-defined%20command&zone=en which does this.
Hi, all you need to do is right click on the taskbar icon and select "Exit" David
