Putty Tips and Tricks


1. Putty Auto Login into Session with Username and Password
Create a bat file and you can schedule it to run with following command:
C:\tools\putty.exe -load session_name -l your_user_name -pw your_password

Wherein session_name is the saved session name, your_user_name is your SSH login user name and your_password is the password. Change “C:\tools\putty.exe” to the path of your own putty.exe.

You can use this to make the SSH Socks5 VPN even more easier to use with a bat file to become schedule task

  1. Dear god, please don't do this! Your password will be visible to any other process on the box! If you must SSH into another host like this, create an SSH key, copy the public part to the server, and specify the private part in a putty session. You can then unlock the private key on login, and you'll have password less login using the unlocked SSH key. It's still not great, but it's better than just leaving the password for a remote system hanging around!
