Saving the PuTTY session logging

Madhusoodan picture Madhusoodan · Jan 20, 2014 · Viewed 120.9k times · Source

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'.

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).
