Putty is a simple but strong (and even free) terminal to connect to remote machines. But the settings in windows are stored in the registry (i.e. HKU\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions). There was a guy who made the script to transfer the configuration to linux! Here are the steps to follow:
1) Backup your PuTTY sessions at the *.reg type to somewhere.
|
1 |
C:\ regedit /e "%userprofile%\desktop\putty-sessions.reg" |
2) Download and install your PuTTY in your box: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

1 2 3 4 5 |
# wget http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/putty-0.63.tar.gz # tar zxvf putty-0.63.tar.gz # cd putty-0.63/ # ./configure # make; make install |
3) Download the script (i.e pwin2lin.pl) from here: https://pwin2lin.googlecode.com
|
1 |
# wget https://pwin2lin.googlecode.com/files/pwin2lin.pl |
4) Make sure you have the following directory: ~/.putty/sessions
5) Execute the script and enjoy!
