Saving the PuTTY session logging


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'.


Solution

  • 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).
