Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions

Hi all,

need info on using putty as group.
I am having huge numbers of servers. (say 100)

I am using putty to login remotely. i want to group each 25 hostnames or a set of servers into one putty instance. (see image attached.)

Currently i have to scroll down to see all the 100 servers.

As i am looking for any option to have few shortcuts for putty and to save 25 hostnames as sessions so that i can have 4 groups of 100 clients
but i tried copying putty.exe to few different locations and drives in my system and created shorcuts for each. but i see the old sessions saved for putty instance from different locations.

is there any way.

thanks with anticipation

PuTTY by default saves session information in the registry, and does not support grouping (as far as I know).
What you could do is to create shortcuts for PuTTY, using the '-load' command line option [1], and group those links in folders on your desktop.

i don't know how you would group multiple hosts into one single instance, as one instance can establish connection to only one single server at the same time.

using putty on command line is still a better choice.
