Putty setup help
Hi there,
So we are very new to your product and previously we have been using mRemoteNG. So bear with me.
We imported our mRemoteNG settings which included Putty sessions.
In mRemoteNG you can specify the PuTTY Session = Default Settings and then it passes the IP/username/password to putty or so it seems
In the Default Settings in putty we have more scroll back, bigger fonts, and some color changes saved.
In RDM it doesn't seem to pass the Default Settings to putty but pulls the Default "Default Settings" (No better way of saying it lol) from some other location?
In RDM for a SSH session I tried going to the Advanced tab and in other parameters putting -load "Default Settings" but this just caused the session to open putting with its setting window open.
So... my question is how do I pass some general default settings for all putty sessions?
thanks in advanced,
Robert

I don't know the answer to your question.
I can only comment that we use the built-in SSH client in RDM and we do change colours, font, history, font-size and even log all sessions initiated from RDM.
Is there any specific reason you prefer using PuTTY?

To be honest I have not looked into rebuilding the connections. I didn't realize there was a native ssh client included with the product. Seems like I built a ssh session using putty in our 30 day eval before we purchased but I didn't dig in this deep.
As I said we imported somewhere north of 400 sessions from mRemoteNG and RDM supported Putty or pulled those settings from the sessions it imported. I just assumed it worked like mRemoteNG on the putty side and wasn't sure how to go about correcting it from a RDM perspective.
I will look at the native ssh session option, I appreciate you pointing that out.

Hi Robert,
Could you send us a print screen of one of your imported session? We support two modes and in one you can specify the parameters.

Sure see attached.
This is one where I haven't changed any settings from the import.

I will create a bug and assign it to Hubert.

David,
Hey I think I left out an important key to all of this as I have it sorted out sort of.
We have RDM installed on a Terminal server and each user profile has its own putty registry keys. So I'm having to write a script to push that default key to all logged in users to resolve this issue.
It would be nice if we could adjust those settings through RDM but as someone else pointed out you have a native ssh client so I can go that route in the future.
I do have one security concern I discovered while working through this. Would you prefer for me to open a new thread or just keep working on off this one?
Hubert is currently working on a solution and he already found the difference. This should be soon resolved. For the security concern you can contact me with a private message.

Hello Robert,
There was a small issue when importing from mRemote. Now, in RDM, when "Use these settings" is selected, there will be an option to load a saved putty session before specifying the host/username/password, which is basically how mRemote works with its "default" putty session you were talking about. You will probably need to re-import your sessions so they work.
The change will be available in the next version.
Regards,
Hubert Mireault
