Saving the PuTTY session logging

Question

I am using PuTTY for logging in to Solaris/Linux servers.

Under Sessions → Logging, we see 'Session Logging' settings. I am not able to save the settings for permanent use.

Isn't such feature available or am I wrong somewhere?

PS: I want to save the log file path, 'All session output' as a 'forever setting'.

Answer 1

It works fine for me, but it's a little tricky :)

• First open the PuTTY configuration.
• Select the session (right part of the window, Saved Sessions)
• Click Load (now you have loaded Host Name, Port and Connection type)
• Then click Logging (under Session on the left)
• Change whatever settings you want
• Go back to Session window and click the Save button

Now you have settings for this session set (every time you load session it will be logged).

Answer 2

I always have to check my cheatsheet :-)

Step 1: right-click on the top of putty window and select 'Change settings'.

Step 2: type the name of the session and save.

That's it!. Enjoy!
