PuTTY Session Manager failed to export sessions

David Hays — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 21:00:55 -0000

In my case, FileHelpers.dll was not present in my Putty Session Manager folder - probably because I was using putty tools that had been passed from hand to hand - someone apparently lost that dll over the years :) .

I downloaded the latest official Putty Tools and
1. I found a FileHelpers.dll file in my PuTTY Session Managerfolder, and
2. Exporting Putty sessions to CSV from Putty Session Manager works fine now.

Thanks for the tip above .

Run multiple Putties using PSM from command line

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.

Racknerd VPS with putty access denied

I put the IP into putty and launch the black CMD screen i type in the username root but the password it doesnt let me type in or if i shift insert enter it just says access denied.

After a long while it says Putty fatal error remote side unexpectantly closed network connection.

Anyone know? this will be my first node of 25 and really stuck on why it is denying my access to the racknerd server, i am using the IP address and password in the email which comes alongside the root username.

Is there a special way to get the password to go into the box after you have logged in with root?

Really stumped on this.

images attached to make it clearer.

Kind Regards,

Jack.

Running command in Putty on start up

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" or "oledpower 1" for ON and OFF respectively?

If it is possible, how do I do that?
If it is possible, is it possible to initiate a shortcut to also exit the Terminal and Putty and close both completely after running OLEDPOWER 0 or 1 with shortcut?

I turn off OLED screen as display never goes to sleep properly currently.
Many thanks!

I am debugging a Honeywell Hawk8000 throug 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?

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.

Using putty in an HTML page - opens previous link

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?
