Import Devices from PuTTY
You can import devices to the Device List from a PuTTY export file.
There are two options: to import automatically with settings from the
Windows Registry, or to import manually with a configuration file that
you create.
Note: Imported devices are configured
to accept the default credential profile that is selected on the Security
tab of the Settings page. If the default credential profile setting
is Per Device, the imported
devices will accept only their own individual credentials.
Use the steps for the automatic or manual import process as needed.
